I see a difference between the normal Indeterminate ProgressBar of Android and Gmail's Indeterminate ProgressBar
any ideas about how did they achieve such smooth indeterminate Progressbar?
Indeterminate ProgressBars are a useful tool for communicating to our users that an operation is in progress when we cannot predict how long it is likely to take.
From wiktionary: Indeterminate: Not accurately determined or determinable. It basically just means you're unsure how long the action will take so you cannot say for example something is 50% done.
Hey I wrote a post/lib about that.
Blog post: http://antoine-merle.com/blog/2013/11/12/make-your-progressbar-more-smooth/
Library: https://github.com/castorflex/SmoothProgressBar
Sample app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.castorflex.android.smoothprogressbar.sample
Go check it out ;)
EDIT: if you want to reproduce exactly the gmail's progressbar, here is the source code
