// Guys, I'm a beginner android developer and I am trying to change the dialogue text from "Please Wait" to other string text, below is my XML caption

// Below is my code in Kotlin
package com.hardextech.caramel.activities
import android.app.Dialog
import android.widget.ProgressBar
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import androidx.core.content.ContextCompat
import com.google.android.material.snackbar.Snackbar
import com.hardextech.caramel.R
open class BaseActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
private lateinit var progressBar: Dialog
// Method to show the progressBar
fun showProgressDialogue(text:String){
progressBar = Dialog(this)
progressBar.setContentView(R.layout.progress_dialogue)
progressBar.tvProgressBar.text = text
progressBar.setCancelable(false)
progressBar.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false)
progressBar.show()
}
fun dismissProgressDialogue(){
progressBar.dismiss()
}
}
// I expect the line of code progressBar.tvProgressBar.text = text to change dialogue text to the constructor text: String but not implementing. I don't know how to go about it.
To be able to change the text you have to put the layout in a view object so that you can have a reference to the TextView
before setting the view object as the context of the Progress Dialog.
fun showProgressDialogue(text:String){
progressBar = Dialog(this)
val inflater = (context as Activity).layoutInflater
val view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.progress_dialogue, null)
view.findViewById(R.id.tvProgressBar).text = text
progressBar.setContentView(view)
progressBar.setCancelable(false)
progressBar.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false)
progressBar.show()
}
