Please help. I can't get this ProgressDialog to dismiss();



I think it has something to do with creating the ProgressDialog in one setContextView(main) and then trying to dismiss() it in the second setContextView(convxml), but I'm stumped.
Thanks in advance.

Try this code i think it will work
ProgressDialog myProgressDialog = null;


myProgressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(ClassName.this,
"Please wait...", "", true);
final Handler mHandler = new Handler() {
public void handleMessage(Message msg)
{

myProgressDialog.dismiss();

}
};
Thread.sleep(1000);
mHandler.sendEmptyMessage(1);
