First time posting here, so go easy on me. :)
I am trying to do something that (I think) should be simple. I am loading another activity within the onClick event of a OnClickListener that is attached to a button:
public class Prime extends Activity {
....
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.prime);
Button startButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.main_start_button);
Button scoreButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.main_score_button);
startButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent start = new Intent("com.mazam.eikaiwa.Modules");
startActivity(start);
}
});
scoreButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
.....
}
});
}
}
Now, the Modules activity that I am loading via the startButton is a bit heavy with the XML layout, and takes about 2-3 seconds to load. I would like to place a progress dialogue when the button is clicked to notify the user until the intent is fully loaded.
I have been able to make this work perfectly with the information I found on a site (I am sorry I don't remember the name or location) using a separate thread and overriding the onKeyDown function. However I couldn't extend this to the onClick function.
So, my question is how can I display a progress dialogue when the user clicks the startButton and have it disappear when the Modules activity is fully loaded?
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
