Android Progress Bar using

ProgressDialog
Progress bars are used to show progress of a task. For example, when
you are uploading or downloading something from the internet, it is
better to show the progress of download/upload to the user.
In android there is a class called ProgressDialog that allows you to
create progress bar. In order to do this, you need to instantiate an
object of this class. Its syntax is.
ProgressDialog progress = new ProgressDialog(this);
Now you can set some properties of this dialog. Such as, its style, its
text etc.
progress.setMessage("Downloading Music :) ");
progress.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
progress.setIndeterminate(true);
Apart from these methods, there are other methods that are provided
by the ProgressDialog class
1. getMax()
This method returns the maximum value of the progress.
2 incrementProgressBy(int diff)
This method increments the progress bar by the difference of value
passed as a parameter.
3 setIndeterminate(boolean indeterminate)
This method sets the progress indicator as determinate or
indeterminate.
4 setMax(int max)
This method sets the maximum value of the progress dialog.
5. setProgress(int value)
This method is used to update the progress dialog with some specific
value.
6 show(Context context, CharSequence title, CharSequence message)
This is a static method, used to display progress dialog.

final int totalProgressTime = 100;
final Thread t = new Thread() {
@Override
public void run() {
int jumpTime = 0;

while(jumpTime < totalProgressTime) {


try {
sleep(200);
jumpTime += 5;
progress.setProgress(jumpTime);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
