I have space in an iPhone app that would fit a progress bar nicely, but I need it to display "activity". I know the iPhone has a UIActivityIndicatorView but that's an animated circle and looks really bad in a tight space.
I'd love to be able to render a progress bar that simply shows activity, very similar to the Mac indeterminate progress indicator (NSProgressIndicator).
Should I try and override the iPhone's UIProgressView to simply draw an animation over a filled progress indicator, or is there an easier way?
