Can hide ProgressBar but cannot show it

I'm using the default ProgressBar widget, for indeterminate progress, in a Linear Layout with Style: #android:style/Widget.DeviceDefault.Light.ProgressBar.Small
If I start the activity with the ProgressBar VISIBLE and never make it INVISIBLE or GONE it shows ok. But if I put progressBar.setVisibility(progressBar.GONE); or progressBar.setVisibility(progressBar.INVISIBLE); anywhere in my code, the space for the ProgressBar is on the UI, but I cant see it.
I thought it might be a leaky parallel thread and removed all multi-threading from my app, but it still won't appear if INVISIBLE or GONE is anywhere in my code.
It works fine on other Activities.

In the Activity onCreate I call populateMemberTeams(); I added a CountDownTimer to check if the progressBar is on the screen and it is...Before the 2 seconds, there is a empty space, but I can't see the ProgressBar
When the timer expires the UI adjusts when the ProgressBar changes to GONE.
private void populateMemberTeams() {
ListView myTeamsListView = findViewById(R.id.myTeamsListView);
ProgressBar progressBar = findViewById(R.id.myTeamsProgressBar);
progressBar.setVisibility(progressBar.VISIBLE);
mAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();
String userId = mAuth.getCurrentUser().getUid();
callTeamManagement.populateMemberTeams(TAG, passedActivity, context, userId);
new CountDownTimer(2000, 1000) {
public void onFinish() {
progressBar.setVisibility(progressBar.GONE);
}
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
// millisUntilFinished The amount of time until finished.
}
}.start();
}
I have tried:
Changing the ProgressBar style in case it was a colour issue;
INVISIBLE instead of GONE;
Putting the ProgressBar inside its own LinearLayout
progressBar.setVisibility(progressBar.VISIBLE);
progressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
progressBar.setVisibility(ProgressBar.VISIBLE);

You should use runOnUiThread.
Helper method for running part of a method on the UI thread.
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
progressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
//progressBar.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
//progressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
});

Custom Dialog is not opening on click in fragment?

I build my own custom Dialogbut its not opening when i am clicking on ImageView. I also checked by putting break point Dialog is coming null how to rectify it. I want to shift TextView of id unread_count to the right of parent . How can I do this ?
If I set android:layout_alignParentRight="true" then I have the following picture :

Java code
private ImageView dialogBox;
Dialog customDialog;
customDialog = new Dialog(getActivity());
dialogBox = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.dialogBox);
dialogBox.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
showDialog();
}
});
private void showDialog() {
customDialog.setContentView(R.layout.dialog_info);
}

You can try this way, you have to find dialog views using dialog.findViewById
Dialog dialog = new Dialog(mActivity);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.dialog_info);
//dialog.setCancelable(false); //set Cancelable
ImageView dialogBox = (ImageView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.imgViewID);
dialogBox.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
dialog.show();
//for big size dialog
/* Window window = dialog.getWindow();
window.setLayout(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);*/
I check you dialog_info.xml code

You forgot to call show method on the custom dialog. Change your code to
private void showDialog() {
customDialog.setContentView(R.layout.dialog_info);
// Add this line
customDialog.show();
}

Android fragment oncreateview is called but view is not inflated and there are no errors

So I've done this a fair amount of times but I'm truly stumped this time. My fragment is called from my activity with no problems and although the onCreateView() is called, nothing at all shows up, still no errors. I've spent a couple hours looking for similar questions here with no luck.
Here is my swapFragment() method that calls my fragment:
private void swapFragment() {
GenresFragment genresFragment = new GenresFragment();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.flgenre, genresFragment);
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
}
Here is my GenresFragment.java:
public class GenresFragment extends Fragment {
// TODO: Customize parameter argument names
private static final String ARG_COLUMN_COUNT = "column-count";
// TODO: Customize parameters
private int mColumnCount = 1;
private OnListFragmentInteractionListener mListener;
private DatabaseReference mPostReference;
String userID = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser().getUid();
private ArrayList<String> genreList = new ArrayList<>();
private MyGenreRecyclerViewAdapter myGenreRecyclerViewAdapter;
/**
* Mandatory empty constructor for the fragment manager to instantiate the
* fragment (e.g. upon screen orientation changes).
*/
public GenresFragment() {
}
// TODO: Customize parameter initialization
#SuppressWarnings("unused")
public static GenresFragment newInstance(int columnCount) {
GenresFragment fragment = new GenresFragment();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putInt(ARG_COLUMN_COUNT, columnCount);
fragment.setArguments(args);
return fragment;
}
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
if (getArguments() != null) {
mColumnCount = getArguments().getInt(ARG_COLUMN_COUNT);
}
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, final ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_mini_add, container, false);
if (rootView == null){
Log.e("TEST1", "Is Null");
}else {
Log.e("TEST2", "Not Null");
}
return rootView;
}
public void failure(){
Toast.makeText(getActivity(),"Something Went Wrong",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
public void onAttach(Context context) {
super.onAttach(context);
if (context instanceof OnListFragmentInteractionListener) {
mListener = (OnListFragmentInteractionListener) context;
} else {
throw new RuntimeException(context.toString()
+ " must implement OnListFragmentInteractionListener");
}
}
#Override
public void onDetach() {
super.onDetach();
mListener = null;
}
/**

I finally figured out the answer, all I had to do was change my root element(linear layout) to frame layout and it worked. Hope this helps someone. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

Try to modify you swapFragment() with below code by replacing replace() with add()
private void swapFragment() {
GenresFragment genresFragment = new GenresFragment();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.flgenre, genresFragment);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
}

Other people already asked for the activity xml, but for what I could see right now, it looks like you are inflating the fragment's layout in a FrameLayout that is contained in it's own layout.
Meaning, the container you are inflating into should not be in the fragment's layout, but in the activity's layout.
Unless I understood it wrong, you should not have the with id/flgenre in fragment_mini_add.xml but in Activity_main.xml (or whatever the layout of the activity is)
Edit: in both activity and the fragment_mini_add.xml there is a layout with the same id you are trying to inflate into. I'm not sure if this causes the problem, but I imagine this could be the cause.

You should remove android:id="#+id/flgenre" in the first xml tag from your activity xml and fragment_mini_add.xml.
replace tools:context="com.nocrat.fanti.ProfileActivity" with tools:context="com.nocrat.fanti.GenresFragment" in fragment_mini_add.xml.
then, add this code to your activity xml to contain the fragment
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/flgenre"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />

FloatingActionButton over EditText is not clickable

I have a FloatingActionButton over a big EditText. When I launch the app and try to tap on the FloatingActionButton the keyboard flips up because it takes the tap of the EditText.
What do I need to change in my code such that the FloatingActionButton is "above" the EditText?
I found that I need to add the FloatingActionButton last, what I already did, such that it is on top, but it didn't work. I also have implemented an onClickListener, which I suppose is not the problem.

Put your FloatingActionButton inside a frame layout and set its gravity and padding accordingly where you want to show it.
<FrameLayout

android:layout_height="match_parent"

The keyboard is coming upon the EditText field & thus hiding it. How to prevent the keyboard from hiding the EditText field?

My EditText is at the bottom of screen, so when I'm tapping on it to edit it, the keyboard is hiding it. I want that when I tap on EditText, the keyboard should remain below it & should not hide it.
Here's the link to the screenshot showing EditText before tapping on it: http://imgur.com/cgme1HT
Here's the link to the screenshot after tapping on EditText (the EditText field is below the keyboard now): http://imgur.com/nloFrkn

I really have no clue about what to do here!
Please let me know.
I'm new to StackOverflow, so please cooperate.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue where the softkeyboard was on top of the EditText views which were placed on the bottom of the screen. I was able to find a solution by adding a single line to my AndroidManifest.xml file's relevant activity.
Put layout inside a ScrollView.
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|stateHidden"
This is how the whole activity tag looks like:
<activity
android:name="com.my.MainActivity"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:label="#string/title_activity_main"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|stateHidden" >
</activity>
Here the most important value is the adjustResize. This will shift the whole UI up to give room for the softkeyboard.

Simply use a ScrollView as the parent view in your xml file.

Options-1
Try using android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" in activity in AndroidManifest.xml
Options-2
Use ScrollView as parent in xml. Replace your xml with this:
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
