Progress Dialog impossible to show using one AsyncTask class

Question

I'm trying to show one Progress Dialog inside my MainActivity but is impossible: This class is inside My MainActivity:

   class MyAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Integer, Void> {

        ProgressDialog progressDialog;
        private String titulo;
        private String mensaje;
        private MainActivity activity;
        public MyAsyncTask(MainActivity activity){
            this.activity = activity;

        }

        @Override
        protected Void doInBackground(Void... voids) {
            this.activity.createDirs();
            this.activity.copyAssets();
            return null;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPreExecute() {

            this.progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
            this.progressDialog.setTitle("test");
            this.progressDialog.setMessage("test message...");
            this.progressDialog.show();
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "OPA", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            super.onPreExecute();
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(Void aVoid) {
            super.onPostExecute(aVoid);
            progressDialog.dismiss();
        }

    }

This code is inside My MainActivity.java: Basically when the user press one button I'm creating one reference to my MyAsyncTask and executing it.

btnInit.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if(flag==1){
                    myAsyncTask = new MyAsyncTask(new MainActivity());
                    myAsyncTask.execute();
                    try {
                        myAsyncTask.get();
                    }catch (Exception e){

                    }

                    Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Dashboardactivity.class);
                    startActivity(intent);
                    flag=0;
                }else{
                    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"error", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                }
            }

The code of the method doInBackground() of the class MyAsyncTask is being executed without problems. I will appreciate any idea guys, thanks so much.

Your thread is blocked, when you call myAsyncTask.get() that's why your Progress Dialog is not displayed so remove the myAsyncTask.get() and add those line on onPostExecute

Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Dashboardactivity.class);
                    startActivity(intent);

full code :

  btnInit.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    if(flag==1){
                        myAsyncTask = new MyAsyncTask(new MainActivity());
                        myAsyncTask.execute();
  
                        flag=0;
                    }else{
                        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"error", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    
                    }
                }

and on your asyncTask :

   class MyAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Integer, Void> {

        ProgressDialog progressDialog;
        private String titulo;
        private String mensaje;
        private MainActivity activity;
        public MyAsyncTask(MainActivity activity){
            this.activity = activity;

        }

        @Override
        protected Void doInBackground(Void... voids) {
            this.activity.createDirs();
            this.activity.copyAssets();
            return null;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPreExecute() {

            this.progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
            this.progressDialog.setTitle("test");
            this.progressDialog.setMessage("test message...");
            this.progressDialog.show();
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "OPA", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            super.onPreExecute();
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(Void aVoid) {
            super.onPostExecute(aVoid);
            progressDialog.dismiss();
            Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Dashboardactivity.class);
            startActivity(intent);
        }

    }
