In short, we can expect this an alternative to progress dialog in android. We implemented this in our project, here we will example on how to implement this progress dialog alternative. Let us start the implementation. In app level build.gradle, place the Spots Dialog library and sync the project. 1 compile 'com.github.d-max:spots-dialog:0.7@aar'

This SpotsDialog is inherited from Alert Dialog, so initially, we create a variable of AlertDialog as class instance. 1 AlertDialog dialog; 2 private static final int DIALOG_SHOW_TIME = 5000;

We have also declared an int variable to show the spots dialog for that duration of time. In onCreate() method, we declare spots dialog as follows 1 dialog = new SpotsDialog(this);

To show the dialog, we should use show() method. 1 dialog.show();

To dismiss the dialog, we should use dismiss() method. 1 dialog.dismiss();

The complete java file for this example will like below

import android.app.AlertDialog; import android.os.Bundle; import android.os.Handler; import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;   import dmax.dialog.SpotsDialog;   public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {       AlertDialog dialog;     private static final int DIALOG_SHOW_TIME = 5000;       @Override     protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);         setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);           dialog = new SpotsDialog(this);         dialog.show();           new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {             @Override             public void run() {                 dialog.dismiss();             }         },DIALOG_SHOW_TIME);       } }

To style this spots dialog, we can define a custom style in the styles.xml file and pass it to the Spots Dialog constructor. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

We can put custom title, spot color, and spot count for spots dialog. Pass the style name to the Spots Dialog constructor to see the effect. 1 dialog = new SpotsDialog(this,R.style.Custom);

We do not need to define anything in layout, leave it as it is, build the project and run the app to see the output.
