ProgressDialog created from onCreateDialog stops animating on second run

Question

I create a ProgressDialog in onCreateDialog() like so:

protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
  if (id == DIALOG_PROGRESS_ID)
           


        

Answer 1

I don't like to removeDialog to recreate it on next showing. So, I resolve this issue by using onCreateDialog and onPrepareDialog:

1) In onCreateDialog I normally create the ProgressDialog. 2) In onPrepareDialog I reference the progressBar inside it and force to restart:

@Override
protected void onPrepareDialog(int id, Dialog dialog, Bundle args) {
    switch (id){

        .....

        case DIALOG_PROGRESS_ID:
            ProgressBar p = (ProgressBar) dialog.findViewById(android.R.id.progress);
            p.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            p.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        break;
    }
}
