InfiniteProgress not showing in simulator or on android

[howud...@gmail.com]

the below code (using slow network connection) makes the simulator and android tablet dim, but the spinner never shows

        public void onbtnLoginCommand(com.codename1.ui.events.ActionEvent ev, Command cmd) {

// show a wait dialog

InfiniteProgress prog = new InfiniteProgress();

Dialog dlg = prog.showInifiniteBlocking();

dlg.setTitle("Logging On");

login();

dlg.dispose();

}

protected void login() {

ConnectionRequest r = new ConnectionRequest() {

@Override

protected void readResponse(InputStream input) throws IOException {

json = new JSONParser().parseJSON(new InputStreamReader(input));

}

@Override

protected void postResponse() {

MessageBox.OK("yay", "it worked");

}

};

r.setUrl(GLOBALS.BASEURL + "/validateLogin");

r.setPost(true);

r.addArgument("user", gui_Text_Field_UserName.getText());

r.addArgument("password", gui_Text_Field_Password.getText());

NetworkManager.getInstance().addToQueueAndWait(r);

}

protected void loadCurrentActivity() {

ConnectionRequest r = new ConnectionRequest() {

@Override

protected void readResponse(InputStream input) throws IOException {

// parse it

}

@Override

protected void postResponse() {

//display it

}

};

r.setUrl(GLOBALS.BASEURL + "/getCurrentActivity");

r.setPost(true);

r.addArgument("hash", GLOBALS.employee.getPassword());

NetworkManager.getInstance().addToQueueAndWait(r);

}

protected void loadStats() {

ConnectionRequest r = new ConnectionRequest() {

@Override

protected void readResponse(InputStream input) throws IOException {

// parse it

}

@Override

protected void postResponse() {

//display it

}

};

r.setUrl(GLOBALS.BASEURL + "/getStats");

r.setPost(true);

r.addArgument("hash", GLOBALS.employee.getPassword());

NetworkManager.getInstance().addToQueueAndWait(r);

}

Also if I need to then do a sequence of network calls, what is the best way to handle that?  onbtnLoginCommand is in the EDT as is postResponse().  do I just chain them all together in subsequent readResponse()?  Where do I call loadCurrentActivity and loadStats()?

Are you using a blank theme?
If so you need to define the infinite progress image.

This varies and is somewhat tricky since you also need to dispose this on error

[Peter Carlson]

No,  I am using the business green and tan theme

[Shai Almog]

You didn't disable the includeNativeBool flag in that theme right?
Did you set the infiniteImage theme constant to something?

This is easily reproduced:

new project

theme:business

template: hello world (bare bones)

add the following code to start()

        com.codename1.ui.Button gui_Button_1 = new com.codename1.ui.Button();

        hi.addComponent(gui_Button_1);

com.codename1.ui.Command cmd_btnLogin = new com.codename1.ui.Command("Login") {

public void actionPerformed(com.codename1.ui.events.ActionEvent ev) {

onbtnLoginCommand(ev, this);

}

};

gui_Button_1.setCommand(cmd_btnLogin);

add the following function:

public void onbtnLoginCommand(com.codename1.ui.events.ActionEvent ev, Command cmd) {

// show a wait dialog

InfiniteProgress prog = new InfiniteProgress();

Dialog dlg = prog.showInifiniteBlocking();

dlg.setTitle("Logging On");

// dlg.dispose();

}

Run in simulator = no image

Your sample opens the progress dialog and closes it immediately without letting it show. The progress dialog is not modal and doesn't block the execution thread.

I quite disagree with you.  the dialog is shown, and since I dont call dispose, the dialog continues to show, it just doesn't show the spinner.  dispose is commented out

[Shai Almog]

Sorry didn't see the comment out section.
It's because of the setTitle() call. It messes up the height calculations for the dialog.
