android problem with progress dialog

Question

I have an application where I fetch data from http server & set data to activity. for fetching data from server it takes time. so i want to give an progress dialog there. I did that but problem is that progressdialog is coming but its not rotating(only constant). Plz anybody tell me how it came like this!

Below is my code,

private void setupViews()
    {
        imgRestro = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageResturant);
        tvRestroName = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvRestroName);
        tvRestroAddr = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvRestroAddr);
        tvRestroArea = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvRestroArea);
        tvRestroCity = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvRestroCity);
        tvRestroPhone = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvRestroPhone);
        tvRestroRating = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvRestroRating);
        tvRestroCuisines = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvRestroCuisines);
        tvRestroAttr = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvRestroAttributes);
    }
//to execute url
    private String executeHttpGet(String URL) throws Exception {

        URL url = null;
        StringBuffer strBuf = null;
        BufferedReader read = null;
        HttpURLConnection httprequest = null;
        try {
            url = new URL(URL);
            httprequest = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            httprequest.setRequestMethod("GET");
            httprequest.setDoInput(true);
            httprequest.setDoOutput(true);
            httprequest.setConnectTimeout(5000); //time for before connect
            httprequest.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",
                    "text/plain; charset=utf-8");
            //httprequest.setReadTimeout(15000);  //time for after connect

            read = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                    httprequest.getInputStream()));

            strBuf = new StringBuffer();

            String line = "";

            while ((line = read.readLine()) != null) {
                strBuf.append(line).append("\n");
            }

        } catch (IOException ex) {

        } finally {
            try {
                httprequest.disconnect();
                read.close();
            } catch (Exception ex) {

You should override onProgressUpdate() method in AsyncTask and change your dialog's value there. You can send your progress value to the dialog via publishProgress() method from doInBackground(). Hope this helps.

Try using Async task as shown below:

try{
    class test extends AsyncTask{


 TextView tv_per;
 int mprogress;

Dialog UpdateDialog = new Dialog(ClassContext);

@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    mprogress = 0;

    UpdateDialog.setTitle(getResources().getString(R.string.app_name));
    UpdateDialog.setContentView(R.layout.horizontalprogressdialog);
    TextView dialog_message =  (TextView)UpdateDialog.findViewById(R.id.titleTvLeft);
    tv_per = (TextView)UpdateDialog.findViewById(R.id.hpd_tv_percentage);
    dialog_message.setText(getResources().getString(R.string.dialog_retrieving_data));
    dialog_message.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);
    UpdateDialog.setCancelable(false);
    UpdateDialog.show();
    super.onPreExecute();
}



@Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Object... values) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    ProgressBar update = (ProgressBar)UpdateDialog.findViewById(R.id.horizontalProgressBar);
    update.setProgress((Integer) values[0]);
    int percent =  (Integer) values[0];
 if(percent>=100)
    {
        percent=100;
    }
    tv_per = (TextView)UpdateDialog.findViewById(R.id.hpd_tv_percentage);
     tv_per.setText(""+percent);
}



@Override
protected Object doInBackground(Object... params) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    //your code
}

    super.onPostExecute(result);
    UpdateDialog.dismiss();
}

}
new test().execute(null);

}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
