consider that you are responding to a menu item
public class SomeActivity
extends Activity
{
//..other code
//a menu function
void respondToMenu1()
{
//Say that I am going to do something a bit long
//Show a progress dialog
ProgressDialog pd = new ProgressDialog(.....);
pd.show();
//do something that takes a few seconds
doSomething();
//Close the dialog to indicate we are done
pd.dismiss();
}
//..other code
} //end of class
What is wrong with this code? How can you correct it? Are there multiple approaches? which is a preferred approach?
