Positioning Custom ProgressDialog Android

Question

I have made a transparent custom progress bar.I want to move the progress bar to a certain location on the screen programatically.But every time the custom progress bar get drawn at the middle of the screen.

public class CustomProgressBar extends Dialog {
ProgressBar mProgressBar;
TextView mTextMessage;

public CustomProgressBar(Context context, int id) {
    super(context, R.style.ProgressDialogTheme);
    LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context
            .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_progree_dialog,
            null);

    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
            RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
            RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_LEFT);//the progress bar does not get aligned to left top with the defined margin space.
    params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP);//
    params.setMargins(50, 50, 0, 0);//

    // layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP, id);

    this.addContentView(view, params);

}

}

And this is how I am using it inside my activity

  Dialog mProgressBar = new CustomProgressBar(
            MyActivity.this,
            otherView.getId());

My progress bar layout file custom_progree_dialog.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/id_server_connection_progress_dialog"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:indeterminateDrawable="@drawable/somedrwablefile" />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/id_server_connection_textview"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/padding_30px"
    android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/padding_4px"
    android:layout_toRightOf="@id/progress_dialog"
    android:text="@string/connectingMessage"
    android:textColor="@color/white"
    android:textSize="@dimen/padding_40px" />

</RelativeLayout>

Please guide me and let me know where I am going wrong.I have spent two days trying to figure out the problem.

The type of LayoutParam relate to the surrounding type of layout. Whats the layout type, the Custom ProgressBar is included in? If it is LinearLayout for example, you must use `LinearLayoutParams` to position your Dialog. — jboi, Nov 12 '13 at 23:56
The layout type for my activity where I am adding the progress bar is relativelayout. — luckysing_noobster, Nov 13 '13 at 00:04
Next thing to check: can you post the XML of the surrounding Layout? The ProgressBar should show up on the upper left corner. Where does it get actually places. — jboi, Nov 13 '13 at 00:33

So I solved this problem by making changes to my custom_progress_dialog and aligning the progress bar and the text to the location I want.Also I am not using the custom class any more.I am just inflating the layout at runtime and adding it as a child view inside my activity.

   if (mView == null) 
   {
    mView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.server_connection_progree_dialog,null);

    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    MyActivity.this.addContentView(mView, layoutParams);
   }
   else 
     if (!mView.isShown()) 
      {
         mView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
      }
