I have an application which have many screens
In one of the screens I am using a background process which do some web fetching etc
The progress of the background process is displayed in the progressbar thats hooked to title bar
But when I happen to leave the screens and goto other screens the progressbar disappear

Is there is a way we can avoid the disappearence of progressbar when user navigates to other
screens. Do I have to add the progressbar in every screen???


Any advice, Please help

Thanks
Rahul

Hello rahul,

no this is not possible.
An ProgressDialog is only associated with an Activity(/Context). Another Activity launched, will be 'over' the old Activity with its "child-ProgressDialog".

Thanks +/- for the reply
Well I know this just I was curious to know about it

Couple of good question
1)If we leave the activity is it true that all child threads spawn by it will be killed.
2) I dont want my process to die so I am thinking of making it a service.
Is there is a way to add a handler to a service??

Thanks again for reply
cheers

when i say handler I mean some guiHandler stuff
AIDL dont take other than primitive or List I guess beside other AIDL interfaces or parceable objects

Guess I found the answer....look for eg in RemoteService
We can register a callback which is again a aidl interface

Interesting

I extended all my activity class by MyActivity which extends activity
In the MyActivity onCreate I create a progress bar and connect it to
a service which sends me the count of the progress bar

So any activity gets called it appears that the same progress bar is on top

Good workaround
