How to use a custom Dialog in kotlin

Question

I have this small class that i want use to show and close my dialog, my retrofit reponse is loading the list of items

class ShowProgress(context: Context) : Dialog(context) {

var dialog = Dialog(context)

fun showDialog() {
    dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE)
    dialog.setCancelable(false)
    dialog.setContentView(R.layout.progress_layout)
    dialog.show()
}

fun closeDialog() {
    dialog.dismiss()
}

Im getting the dialog to show up but it wont dismiss() when the response is complete. What whould be the issue here exactly?

This how you can show and dismiss custom popup;

class ShowProgress(context: Context) : Dialog(context) {

    init {
        dialog = Dialog(context)
    }

    fun showPopup() {

        val dialogview = LayoutInflater.from(context)
            .inflate(R.layout.dialog_choose_image, null, false)
        //initializing dialog screen

        dialog?.setCancelable(true)
        dialog?.setContentView(dialogview)
        dialog?.show()

    }
    companion object{
        var dialog: Dialog? = null
        fun dismissPopup() = dialog?.let { dialog!!.dismiss() }
    }

}

and from view you can access it like this. val showProgress = ShowProgress(this) showProgress.showPopup()

and dismiss it whenever you want to dismiss popup ShowProgress.dismissPopup()
