Answer 1

How about using ProgressBar#dismiss() method?

EDIT: dismiss() is only for ProgressDialog. For ProgressBar you should toggle the Visibilty of the View.

If mHandler is a Handler bound to your UI thread and mProgress is your ProgressBar, you can have something like the following from inside the run method of your background thread:

 mHandler.post(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        mProgress.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
    }
 });

You can dismiss a ProgressDialog. A progressBar is just a view you can make set its visibility as visible or invisible based on your requirement
