POProgressDialog in Android not appearing (incorrect thread handling?)

copied!<p>I am trying to implement a radio player (using shoutcast streams) for android. What I want to do is, while the radio stream loads in the player, the UI displays a spinning wheel animation. On successful loading (as soon as the song starts playing) the animation disappears.</p> <p>Here is the code that I am using.</p> <pre><code>PlayStopStreamingButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { Thread initializer = new Thread(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { Looper.myLooper(); Looper.prepare(); progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(RadioPlayerActivity.this, "", "Selecting Radio Station", true); JukefoxApplication.getHandler().post(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { radioPlayerEventListener.onPlayStopStreamingButtonClicked(); progressDialog.dismiss(); } }); } }); initializer.start(); } }); </code></pre> <p>I don't get any spinning animation. I am almost certain that my mistake lies in incorrect handling of threads. If someone could out the correct way, I would be grateful. </p> <p>EDIT, this seems to work:</p> <pre><code> PlayStopStreamingButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(RadioPlayerActivity.this, "", "Selecting Radio Station", true); Thread initializer = new Thread(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { radioPlayerEventListener.onPlayStopStreamingButtonClicked(); progressDialog.dismiss(); } }); initializer.start(); } }); </code></pre>
