I have searched everywhere and read the official doc of Google. But I still don't see the difference between them.
When should we use ProgressBar and when should we use ProgressDialog?
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.
ProgressBar is best alternative for ProgressDialog.
Progress bars are used to show progress of a task. For example, when you are uploading or downloading something from the internet, it is better to show the progress of download/upload to the user. In android there is a class called ProgressDialog that allows you to create progress bar.
Android ProgressBar is a graphical view indicator that shows some progress. Android progress bar displays a bar representing the completing of the task. Progress bar in android is useful since it gives the user an idea of time to finish its task.
