I have a Splash Screen for an Android Project in which I have to add a progress bar for 5 seconds but the problem is that the screen's background is white and our progress bar doesn't displayed on that, due to this reason I downloaded a progress bar GIF image which is not animating in Android, So the question is that How am I able to animating GIF progress bar file on my Splash Screen.
Please suggest me the right solution regarding the same.
Thanks in advance.
Why don't you use black progress bar style which is inbuilt:
<ProgressBar style="#android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Inverse"/>
Also if you want to use your animated image: you can refer here

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
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]

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!!
I have two tabs in my app.First tab displays the details of user and the second tab displays the applications that are installed on his device.I have used Package manager for getting the installed apps and it is running ins background thread. If the user clicked the second tab before the background thread completes I want to show a progressdialog.But the problem is if progressdialog is displayed on the screen user can't switch to next tab.Is there any way to solve this issue.Thanks in advance.
Progress dialogue by default works in dialogue mode and freezes any operations until the progress bar is gone.
I had faced issues with controlling progress bar (though my requirements were more than yours like customizing looks and showing/ hiding/ freezing bar at will), so I ended up creating a custom progress bar.
It is pretty simple
Create 2 straight straight bars, one black and other of any color (if you want something more fancy, it is upto you)
Add the bars to drawable and then to your layout xml in hidden mode. The colored bar exactly on top (superimpose) of black bar
Now where you want to show the progress bar, make the black bar visible first, and adjust the width of colored bar (on top of black bar) as per the progress.
This will give you proper functionality of the progress bar.
As you are playing around only with imageviews, you have full control over when to show or hide the bar. Also by default it will not freeze the view. You can freeze at will by capturing onTouch event.
I use setSupportProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(true); in my activity to show a Indertiminate ProgressBar. This shows a large ProgressBar in the ActionBar. I want to use a small progress bar . How can i do this ?
Kind Regards,
You need to create a style in order to get a small progressbar.
See this link, where explains how to change the Default Indeterminate Progress Size in ActionBarSherlock

Anyone know about the detail? Any website or suggestion?
From the source:
There is also a secondary progress
displayable on a progress bar which is
useful for displaying intermediate
progress, such as the buffer level
during a streaming playback progress
bar.
One can find a fully worked example of displaying such a bar, including screenshots of the appearance of such a bar in a particular style (circular bar which fills from the bottom):
In the image above, the secondary bar is the green area, when it reaches the top, some subtask is complete.
Secondary progress vs Progress can be thought of like the downloaded part of a video you're watching vs the complete length of the progress bar
