Small ProgressDialog "spinner" for android

Question

I've been able to use the standard "ProgressDialog" for android to show that an indeterminate task is running.

But I'd like to use the "smaller" progress dialog "spinner" that's used for indeterminate tasks in some of the standard Android applications like the android Market (there's a small spinning circle that's actually integrated into the application window (as opposed to floating on top of it).

Does anyone know how to create the smaller progress dialog (or can someone point me in the right direction)?

Answer 1

The Activity class has a built in ProgressBar in the Title area that can be used for this purpose. Is that what you are referring to?

I assume anywhere else you are seeing this other than in a title bar would just be a ProgressBar UI widget set to indeterminate that is placed in the view.

Answer 2

Dude just use ProgressDialog.show(activity, "", "");
