How to change the appearance of a ProgressDialog?

Question

I know this is possible, but I wonder why my solution does not work.

ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(context);
dialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_SPINNER);
dialog.setIndeterminate(true);
dialog.setCancelable(false);
dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false);
TextView textView = (TextView) LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.custom_text, null, false);
textView.setText(context.getResources().getString(msg));
dialog.setView(textView);

This is the layout custom_text

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/messageSpinner"
style="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Medium"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:textColor="@color/colorAccent"
android:textStyle="bold">

</TextView>

The result is a window with the expected wheel but an empty message.

You change the view of dialog . Now whatever you put in that custom XML will appear on dialog i.e put a ProgresBar too — ADM, Oct 04 '17 at 10:44

You are overriding the dialog view. Now the dialog only show your custom view. try adding progress bar also in your layout

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ProgressBar 
android:layout_width="30dp"
android:layout_height="30dp"/>


<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/messageSpinner"
style="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Medium"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:textColor="@color/colorAccent"
android:textStyle="bold">

</TextView>
</LinearLayout>
