If you read the progressDialog developer doc it says "A dialog showing a progress indicator and an optional text message or view. Only a text message or a view can be used at the same time."

It looks like you are trying to do both. Possibly the cause of your issue.

Answer 2

I made it; in fact, it's very easy; using

loadingProgressDialog.setContentView(this) 

after

loadingProgressDialog.show() 

The following lines of code are unnecessary:

loadingProgressDialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
loadingProgressDialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS);
loadingProgressDialog.getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);
loadingProgressDialog.getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS);

that's to say:

loadingProgressDialog.setIndeterminate(true);
loadingProgressDialog.show();
loadingProgressDialog.setContentView(this); //this is: LoaderImageView extends ImageView 

that is enough.

I hope this can help other people looking for answer about this question.

Answer 3

Got it.

The clue was in the class names, don't use ProgressDialog ( http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ProgressDialog.html ) when you don't need a dialog!

I changed my implementation to use: ProgressBar ( http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ProgressBar.html ) and it works great.

Cheers for the ear anyway!
