How can we display progress icon in button

Question

I need to display progress icon in button so that user can interact other GUI elements while background task is processing.

I have searched in Android developer site and found that we can use animated drawables but don't know how to use them. Please advise on the same.

If the default progress indicator is good enough for you (i.e. the spinning wheel), then you can just use ProgressBar. To change it from a normal progress bar to a spinning wheel, use progressBar.setIndeterminate(true).
