Progress bar in stripes style?

I'm using ProgressBar in android for providing a progress bar. At the moment I have a common progress bar, like you can see in the attached picture at the top - just a blue bar. What techniques are possible to have a bar style with stripes like attaced in the picture? do I have to use an image with stripes as background for solving this? or do I have to provide a special "android:progressDrawable"? Thx for your hints.

Create a custom progressbar with your own drawable. look at this topic: Custom Drawable for ProgressBar/ProgressDialog

Indeterminate progress bar like iPhone GMAIL app in android

I'm new to android. I want to make indeterminate progress bar like iPhone GMAIL app in android.As attached below with animation.
EDIT :: In android is it possible to have animation [like][1]
[1]: http://jsfiddle.net/gh/gist/library/pure/4547132/enter code here

You have the spinner in the palette (see the image attached below). I think it´s similar to what you want. But if you want to make this progress bar using this exactly image, you can add the image and using animation make it rotate.
Hope it´s useful!!

ActionBar Sherlock Progress Bar in Icon space

I am using an Action bar in my project. I am displaying a progress bar via the below approach.
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS);
setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(true);
However, what I'd really like to do is replace the left most image icon with the progress indicator when arbitrary background processes run and then returns the usual icon when complete.
Can anyone tell me the steps needed to replace this icon with a functional Progress indicator. It only needs to be an intermediate one.

Looks like you can find some suggestions here: Android: dynamically change ActionBar icon?.
Specifically, you can access the icon by using
Activity.findViewById(android.R.id.home)
And then just set and re-set the icon as needed.

You need to build a custom layout for this and use actionbar.setCustomView(yourcustomlayout);
In your custom layout have an imageView(which is your app icon) and progress bar(initially which is set to invisible).
When running the background process just set the visibility between image view and progress bar.

Download Progress Bar as LinearLayout Background

I have an app where students at my school can download course content that professors upload. Everything works great, except I have no progress bar dialog. I recently switched the app over to using fragments, so the old dialog I was using broke.
Anyway, I was thinking that instead of having a dialog display the progress bar, I could use the background of the item that was clicked as the progress bar.
Here is a screenshot of the app:

And here is a mocup of how I imagine it working:

I cannot for the life of me think of how this should be done. I am hoping someone could just give me a push in the right direction.
Thanks,

Check out Clip Drawable. You can set the background of your row to a ClipDrawable that holds the color or another drawable that you want to show for progress, then set the level (progress) while downloading.

Have you tried changing your row.xml to be a frame layout and just have a ProgressBar that fills the entire row? You can then put this behind the layout you currently have in your row.xml.

Progress Bar inside TabHost in android

i want to show a progress bar in the tabhost , while the image in the tabhost is loading ,, is this possible , i made this sample image in Paint just to give an idea of the UI in my mind regarding tab host..
how can i achieve this,, the progress bar should appear inside the tabhost.

Try this.See you need progress bar while loading the tab.For that you can use AsyncTask while loading the view so until your complete view is not loaded it will show progress bar if you define it at proper place in your code.
And another thing is you can use selector .This my help you.Please read this post http://www.mkyong.com/android/android-imagebutton-selector-example/ and let me know it it works or not.
Hope this helps you. :)
