Maybe my English is poor but I really cannot figure out what the "indeterminate" means in this context:
Android Development → ProgressDialog.isIndeterminate()

Android ProgressBar Indeterminate ProgressBar An indeterminate ProgressBar shows a cyclic animation without an indication of progress.
Indeterminate Progress Use indeterminate mode for the progress bar when you do not know how long an operation will take. Indeterminate mode is the default for progress bar and shows a cyclic animation without a specific amount of progress indicated.
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.
It means the "loading amount" is not measured.

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.
This normally just means the progress will be displayed as a constantly moving loading bar rather than a percentage or the like.
