Parent #17173
This issue is about resolving the ProgressDialog compile warnings for the WordPress module, and possibly, for the lib modules as well.
PS: Some of those warnings are already deprecated (see here).
This ProgressDialog class was deprecated in API level 26. ProgressDialog is a modal dialog, which prevents the user from interacting with the app. Instead of using this class, you should use a progress indicator like ProgressBar, which can be embedded in your app's UI. Alternatively, you can use a notification to inform the user of the task's progress.
