How to show loading animation on asynctask onPostExecute method

Issue

i need to show an loading animation on my android project for wait the response is coming. i try to show an loading message. i need to hide after the response is come.

private void searchCustomer(final String username, final String 
                             password, final String baseUrl, final ProgressDialog dialog) {

    AsyncTask<String, String, String> checkLogin = new AsyncTask<String, String, String>() {

    final ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... strings) {

        MediaType mediaType = MediaType.parse("application/json");
        RequestBody body = RequestBody.create(mediaType, "{\n\t\"custUserName\": \""+ username +"\",\n\t\"custPassword\": \""+ password +"\"\n}");
        Request request = new Request.Builder()
                .url(baseUrl + "customerLogin")
                .post(body)
                .addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
                .build();

        try {
            Response response = okHttpClient.newCall(request).execute();
            return response.body().string();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return "";
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String s) {

        dialog.setMessage("Processing...");
        dialog.show();

        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

        char[] temp = s.toCharArray();
         for (char current : temp) {
         if (current != '"') {
             sb.append(current);
            }
        }

        String s1 = sb.toString();

        if (s1.equals("true")) {
        Notification.showSuccessMdToast("Login Successful", getApplicationContext());

        Intent customerNav = new Intent(MainActivity.this, CustomerNav.class);
        startActivity(customerNav);

        }

    }
};

checkLogin.execute();

}

in post Execute response value is come as true. but Processing Dialog is not hide.

Solution

the onPostExecute callback called when doInBackground work finished.

You must call dialog.show(); inside onPreExecute() and hide this on onPostExecute(). see below:

AsyncTask<String, String, String> checkLogin = new AsyncTask<String, String, String>() {

final ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);

 @Override
 protected void onPreExecute() {
     super.onPreExecute();
     dialog.setMessage("Processing...");
     dialog.show();
 }

@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... strings) {

    MediaType mediaType = MediaType.parse("application/json");
    RequestBody body = RequestBody.create(mediaType, "{\n\t\"custUserName\": \""+ username +"\",\n\t\"custPassword\": \""+ password +"\"\n}");
    Request request = new Request.Builder()
            .url(baseUrl + "customerLogin")
            .post(body)
            .addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
            .build();

    try {
        Response response = okHttpClient.newCall(request).execute();
        return response.body().string();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return "";
}

@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String s) {

    dialog.dismis();

    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

    char[] temp = s.toCharArray();
     for (char current : temp) {
     if (current != '"') {
         sb.append(current);
        }
    }

    String s1 = sb.toString();

    if (s1.equals("true")) {
    Notification.showSuccessMdToast("Login Successful", getApplicationContext());

    Intent customerNav = new Intent(MainActivity.this, CustomerNav.class);
    startActivity(customerNav);

    }

}
};

checkLogin.execute();
