I'm developing an android app and need to know how to change the positioning of a progress dialog. I need it to be positioned at the bottom of the screen instead of at the center like it is by default.

In addition to the other answers you can use LayoutParams.x or LayoutParams.y to provide an offset from the given edge. For Example:

progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(this, "Title","Text");

progressDialog.getWindow().setGravity(Gravity.TOP);
LayoutParams params = progressDialog.getWindow().getAttributes();
params.y = 100;
progressDialog.getWindow().setAttributes(params);

And it is good for you to know about LayoutParams.y:

Y position for this window. With the default gravity it is ignored. When using TOP or BOTTOM it provides an offset from the given edge.

and about LayoutParams.x:

X position for this window. With the default gravity it is ignored. When using LEFT or START or RIGHT or END it provides an offset from the given edge.
