Yes, ProgressDialog is deprecated but Dialog isn't.

You can inflate your own XML file ( containing a progress bar and a loading text) into your dialog object and then display or hide it using the show() and dismiss() functions. Here is an example (Kotlin):

ProgressDialog class:

class ProgressDialog {
companion object {
    fun progressDialog(context: Context): Dialog{
        val dialog = Dialog(context)
        val inflate = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.progress_dialog, null)
        dialog.setContentView(inflate)
        dialog.setCancelable(false)
        dialog.window!!.setBackgroundDrawable(
                ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT))
        return dialog
    }
  }
}

XML

In your code: Just do var dialog = ProgressDialog.progressDialog(context)

To show: dialog.show()

To hide: dialog.dismiss()
