Problem: ProgressDialogshow(...) will not be displayed on startup! Why is that?

Amalkotey · Sep 7, 2011

Guten Morgen,

ich möchte, das beim Start meiner Application ein Progress-Dialog mit ProgressDialogShow(...) angezeigt werden soll. Es spielt keine Rolle, wo ich den Befehl hinsetze, denn der Dialog wird nicht angezeigt. Er soll als erster Befehl in der Sub Globals angezeigt werden und in der Sub Activity_Create, nach Abarbeitung der Sub, wieder geschlossen werden.

Ich weiss nicht wo mein Fehler steckt. Da bekanntlicher Weise, vier oder mehr Augen auch mehr sehen, als zwei Augen, möchte ich euch bitten, mal über meinen nachfolgenden Quellcode zu schauen, damit das Problem gelöst wird.

Vielen Dank für euere Hilfe im Voraus.

Good morning,

I wish that when I launch my application with a progress dialog to show ProgressDialogShow(...) are displayed. It does not matter where I sit command, because the dialog is not displayed. Want it to appear as the first command in the sub globals and in the sub Activity_Create, after processing the sub, to be closed again.

I do not know where is my mistake. As a known manner, four or more eyes see more than two eyes, I would ask you to visit on my next source code, so the problem is solved.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Remove ProgressDialogShow from Globals and put it as the first line after Activity_Create.

Globals can only contain variables not statements.

klaus · Sep 7, 2011

You should add a DoEvent after ProgressDialogShow(...)
Works in both Globals and Activity_Create (at least in the Emulator).

Best regards.

Problem gelöst / problem solved

@all:
So, now I know why. The code between ProgressDialogShow and ProgressDialogHide was processed quickly. I 'm now in the sub Activity_Create the code below

B4X:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   ProgressDialogShow("Installierte Apps werden ermittelt und Favoritenlise wird gelesen!")
   Global.Wait(3)

   ' code ...

   ProgressDialogHide
End Sub

and i implemented in my global codemodule, the following code:

B4X:

Sub Wait(Sekunden As Int)
   Dim Ti As Long
   Ti = DateTime.Now + (Sekunden * 1000)
   Do While DateTime.Now < Ti
      DoEvents
   Loop
End Sub

Thus it works. Thank you for your help.

I think if you Wait for 5 seconds, that will give you an Application Not Responding error.

Amalkotey · Sep 7, 2011

No, works fine.

Problem: ProgressDialogshow(...) will not be displayed on startup! Why is that?
