Android Activity Indicator?

How can i show an Activity Indicator in Android? Is there any Android Library given method? If no, please let me know the techniques used to show activity indicator in Android?.

Answer 1

The most direct equivalent of the iOS Activity Indicator in Android is the ProgressBar but set to indeterminate. So you can drop the view into your layout and it will provide you with a spinning animation.

<ProgressBar     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:id="@+id/ctrlActivityIndicator"     android:indeterminateOnly="true"     android:keepScreenOn="true"      /> 

You could use this to indicate some background activity to the user.

Answer 2

do some thing like this

ProgressDialog mDialog = new ProgressDialog(getApplicationContext());             mDialog.setMessage("Please wait...");             mDialog.setCancelable(false);             mDialog.show();
