[android] ProgressDialog is deprecated.What is the alternate one to use?

ProgressBar is very simple and easy to use, i am intending to make this same as simple progress dialog. first step is that you can make xml layout of the dialog that you want to show, let say we name this layout

layout_loading_dialog.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:padding="20dp">
    <ProgressBar
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1" />

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="4"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="Please wait! This may take a moment." />
</LinearLayout>

next step is create AlertDialog which will show this layout with ProgressBar

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
builder.setCancelable(false); // if you want user to wait for some process to finish,
builder.setView(R.layout.layout_loading_dialog);
AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();

now all that is left is to show and hide this dialog in our click events like this

dialog.show(); // to show this dialog
dialog.dismiss(); // to hide this dialog

and thats it, it should work, as you can see it is farely simple and easy to implement ProgressBar instead of ProgressDialog. now you can show/dismiss this dialog box in either Handler or ASyncTask, its up to your need
