Answer 1

You can use this class I wrote. It offers only the basic functions. If you want a fully functional ProgressDialog, then use this lightweight library.

Gradle Setup

Add the following dependency to module/build.gradle:

compile 'com.lmntrx.android.library.livin.missme:missme:0.1.5'

How to use it?

Usage is similar to original ProgressDialog

ProgressDialog progressDialog = new 
progressDialog(YourActivity.this);
progressDialog.setMessage("Please wait");
progressDialog.setCancelable(false);
progressDialog.show();
progressDialog.dismiss();

NB: You must override activity's onBackPressed()

Java8 Implementation:

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    progressDialog.onBackPressed(
            () -> {
                super.onBackPressed();
                return null;
            }
    );
}

Kotlin Implementation:

override fun onBackPressed() {
   progressDialog.onBackPressed { super.onBackPressed() }
}
