I've successfully implemented ProgressBar on its own, however, I would like it to show on top of a darkened background which will prevent the user from clicking something underneath that layer.

I'm currently trying to use the view object as a fill layer which still allows the user to click the buttons and input text

Progress Dialog is deprecated: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ProgressDialog.html

if I have not misunderstood, your goal is to show a dialog with a progress bar as main component. If so you could try to use a ProgressDialog, this link provides a good example of how to use it. If you want to have a custom style for the dialog, you can remove the setTitle and the setMessage from the code in the example and if that's not enough you can try to set a custom style for the dialog.

Hope it helps!

  • No not a Progress Dialog. It's deprecated. The official documentation suggests Progress Bar. https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ProgressDialog.html –  Mar 17 '19 at 17:17
  • @DarkNate oh I'm sorry! I've found this answer which I think may help you with your problem, https://stackoverflow.com/a/24471803/7507788 let me know! – Giorgio Bertolotti Mar 17 '19 at 17:23
  • It seems to implement a determinate progress bar. I may be wrong I don't quite understand the answer posted there, doesn't quite seem to be what I'm looking for. –  Mar 17 '19 at 18:44
