Recipents Fragment

I tried to do this one in fragment, and everything worked but I am not seeing the Progress Bar, Im sort of confused in where to put that piece of code, As Bens OnCreate method is different from mine.

I tried putting it in my onCreate method, I don't get any errors and also don't see the Progress Bar either :P

I tried to place it OnResume method right after the Super Call, still no use. Any suggestions?

Here is my RecipentsActivity.java file.

package com.dipnsa.dipdip;

import java.util.List;

import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.view.Window;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;

import com.parse.FindCallback;
import com.parse.ParseException;
import com.parse.ParseQuery;
import com.parse.ParseRelation;
import com.parse.ParseUser;

public class RecipentsActivity extends ListActivity {


    public static final String TAG = RecipentsActivity.class.getSimpleName();

    protected List<ParseUser> mFriends;
    protected ParseRelation<ParseUser> mFriendsRelation;
    protected ParseUser mCurrentUser;




    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_recipents, container,
                false);

        return rootView;
    }




    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS);
        getListView().setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);

        mCurrentUser = ParseUser.getCurrentUser();
        mFriendsRelation = mCurrentUser.getRelation(ParseConstants.KEY_FRIENDS_RELATION);

        setProgressBarVisibility(true);

        ParseQuery<ParseUser> query = mFriendsRelation.getQuery();
        query.addAscendingOrder(ParseConstants.KEY_USERNAME);
        mFriendsRelation.getQuery().findInBackground(new FindCallback<ParseUser>() {

            @Override
            public void done(List<ParseUser> friends, ParseException e) {
                setProgressBarVisibility(false);

                    if (e == null)  {
                    mFriends = friends;                 
                    String[] usernames = new String[mFriends.size()];
                    int i = 0;
                    for(ParseUser user : mFriends) {
                        usernames[i] = user.getUsername();
                        i++;
                    }
                    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
                            getListView().getContext(),
                            android.R.layout.simple_list_item_checked,
                            usernames);
                    setListAdapter(adapter);
                    }

                else {
                    Log.e(TAG, e.getMessage());
                    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(RecipentsActivity.this);
                    builder.setMessage(e.getMessage())
                        .setTitle(R.string.error_title)
                        .setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok, null);
                    AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
                    dialog.show();
                }
            }



        });

    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }


}

Try putting the progress bar visibility line inside mFriendsRelation.getQuery().findInBackground(new FindCallback<ParseUser>() { // put it here// @Override .... }

If you think about it, you want the progress indicator to be visible while the above background task is executing, so make it a part of that.

You should try using the Android Studio version to create an Activity with a Fragment, then extend the fragment for a ListFragment and do all the coding in there. It should naturally keep the ActionBar and allow you to use the automated list funcionality android provides.
