How to hide progressbar in Android?

Question

I added a progressbar to my app but I want to hide it after some doing some action,

I used hide(), dismiss() and cancel()... but none of them work?

How can I hide the progressbar?

Please mention the class you are using. I assume it is: android.widget.ProgressBar, but it does not have hide(), dismiss() or cancel() methods. Have you tried View.GONE. Your question is very old. — Abhinav Saxena, Mar 08 '19 at 08:12

ProgressBar.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE)

should be enough.

Edit: fixed typo.

"all of them are work", that sounds like it means that they work? But then why the question?

I'd say: get the view, en do

 myView.setVisibility(View.GONE)

ProgressBar progressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar);
progressBar.setVisibility(0);    --visible
progressBar.setVisibility(4);    --invisible
progressBar.setVisibility(8);    --gone (like dismiss)

Why not `progressBar.setVisibility(View.Visible);` instead of using these magic numbers? – Rafi Kamal Jun 19 '14 at 14:44

when you want to show it
progressBar.visibility = View.VISIBLE

when you want to hide it
1 progressBar.visibility = View.GONE
2 progressBar.visibility = View.INVISIBLE

1). first make a variable to access progress bar => ProgressBar progBar;

2). Initialize it to id given to the progressbar view => progBar = findViewById(R.id.ID_OF_PROGRESS_BAR);

3). Now, set the visibility => progBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);

full code =>

ProgressBar progBar;
progBar = findViewById(R.id.ID_OF_PROGRESS_BAR);
progBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
