ProgressBar

Official Documentation: ProgressBar

Indeterminate ProgressBar

An indeterminate ProgressBar shows a cyclic animation without an indication of progress.

Basic indeterminate ProgressBar (spinning wheel)

<ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/progressBar"
    android:indeterminate="true"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

Horizontal indeterminate ProgressBar (flat bar)

<ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/progressBar"
    android:indeterminate="true"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal"/>

Other built-in ProgressBar styles

style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Small"
style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Large"
style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Inverse"
style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Small.Inverse"
style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Large.Inverse"

To use the indeterminate ProgressBar in an Activity

ProgressBar progressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar);
progressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
progressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);

Determinate ProgressBar

A determinate ProgressBar shows the current progress towards a specific maximum value.

Horizontal determinate ProgressBar

<ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/progressBar"
    android:indeterminate="false"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="10dp"
    style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal"/>

Vertical determinate ProgressBar

<ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/progressBar"
    android:indeterminate="false"
    android:layout_width="10dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:progressDrawable="@drawable/progress_vertical"
    style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal"/>

            android:thicknessRatio="24"
            android:innerRadiusRatio="2.2">
            <corners android:radius="3dp"/>
            <solid android:color="#0000FF"/>
        </shape>
    </item>

    <item android:id="@android:id/progress">
        <shape

    </item>
</layer-list>

To use the determinate ProgressBar in an Activity.

ProgressBar progressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar);
progressBar.setSecondaryProgress(100);
progressBar.setProgress(10);
progressBar.setMax(100);

Customized progressbar

CustomProgressBarActivity.java:

public class CustomProgressBarActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private TextView txtProgress;
    private ProgressBar progressBar;
    private int pStatus = 0;
    private Handler handler = new Handler();

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_custom_progressbar);

        txtProgress = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtProgress);
        progressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar);

        new Thread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                while (pStatus <= 100) {
                    handler.post(new Runnable() {
                        @Override
                        public void run() {
                            progressBar.setProgress(pStatus);
                            txtProgress.setText(pStatus + " %");
                        }
                    });
                    try {
                        Thread.sleep(100);
                    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                    pStatus++;
                }
            }
        }).start();

    }
}

Tinting ProgressBar

Using an AppCompat theme, the ProgressBar's color will be the colorAccent you have defined.

5.0

To change the ProgressBar color without changing the accent color you can use theandroid:theme attribute overriding the accent color:

<ProgressBar  
    android:theme="@style/MyProgress"
    style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar" />

<!-- res/values/styles.xml -->
<style name="MyProgress" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">  
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/myColor</item>
</style>

To tint the ProgressBar you can use in the xml file the attributes android:indeterminateTintMode and android:indeterminateTint

<ProgressBar
    android:indeterminateTintMode="src_in"
    android:indeterminateTint="@color/my_color"
/>

Material Linear ProgressBar

According to Material Documentation:

A linear progress indicator should always fill from 0% to 100% and never decrease in value.
It should be represented by bars on the edge of a header or sheet that appear and disappear.

To use a material Linear ProgressBar just use in your xml:

<ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/my_progressBar"  
    style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

Indeterminate

To create indeterminate ProgressBar set the android:indeterminate attribute to true.

<ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/my_progressBar"  
    style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:indeterminate="true"/>

Determinate

To create determinate ProgressBar set the android:indeterminate attribute to false and use the android:max and the android:progress attributes:

<ProgressBar  
    android:id="@+id/my_progressBar"
    style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
    android:indeterminate="false"
    android:max="100"
    android:progress="10"/>

Just use this code to update the value:

ProgressBar progressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.my_progressBar);  
progressBar.setProgress(20);

Buffer

To create a buffer effect with the ProgressBar set the android:indeterminate attribute to false and use the android:max, the android:progress and the android:secondaryProgress attributes:

<ProgressBar  
    android:id="@+id/my_progressBar"
    style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:indeterminate="false"
    android:max="100"
    android:progress="10"
    android:secondaryProgress="25"/>

The buffer value is defined by android:secondaryProgress attribute.
Just use this code to update the values:

ProgressBar progressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.my_progressBar);
progressBar.setProgress(20);
progressBar.setSecondaryProgress(50);

Indeterminate and Determinate

To obtain this kind of ProgressBar just use an indeterminate ProgressBar using the android:indeterminate attribute to true.

<ProgressBar  
    android:id="@+id/progressBar"
    style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
    android:indeterminate="true"/>

Then when you need to switch from indeterminate to determinate progress use setIndeterminate() method .

ProgressBar progressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.my_progressBar);  
progressBar.setIndeterminate(false);

Creating Custom Progress Dialog

By Creating Custom Progress Dialog class, the dialog can be used to show in UI instance, without recreating the dialog.

First Create a Custom Progress Dialog Class.

CustomProgress.java

public class CustomProgress {

   public static CustomProgress customProgress = null;
   private Dialog mDialog;

   public static CustomProgress getInstance() {
       if (customProgress == null) {
           customProgress = new CustomProgress();
       }
       return customProgress;
   }

   public void showProgress(Context context, String message, boolean cancelable) {
       mDialog = new Dialog(context);
    // no tile for the dialog
       mDialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
       mDialog.setContentView(R.layout.prograss_bar_dialog);
       mProgressBar = (ProgressBar) mDialog.findViewById(R.id.progress_bar);
    //  mProgressBar.getIndeterminateDrawable().setColorFilter(context.getResources()
    // .getColor(R.color.material_blue_gray_500), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
       TextView progressText = (TextView) mDialog.findViewById(R.id.progress_text);
       progressText.setText("" + message);
       progressText.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
       mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    // you can change or add this line according to your need
       mProgressBar.setIndeterminate(true);
       mDialog.setCancelable(cancelable);
       mDialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(cancelable);
       mDialog.show();
   }

   public void hideProgress() {
       if (mDialog != null) {
           mDialog.dismiss();
           mDialog = null;
       }
   }
}

Now creating the custom progress layout

prograss_bar_dialog.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="65dp"
    android:background="@android:color/background_dark"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/progress_text"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="40dp"
        android:layout_above="@+id/progress_bar"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
        android:layout_marginStart="10dp"
        android:background="@android:color/transparent"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        android:text=""
        android:textColor="@android:color/white"
        android:textSize="16sp"
        android:visibility="gone" />

    <-- Where the style can be changed to any kind of ProgressBar -->

    <ProgressBar
        android:id="@+id/progress_bar"
        style="@android:style/Widget.DeviceDefault.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="30dp"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:background="@color/cardview_dark_background"
        android:maxHeight="20dp"
        android:minHeight="20dp" />

</RelativeLayout>

This is it. Now for calling the Dialog in Code

CustomProgress customProgress = CustomProgress.getInstance();

// now you have the instance of CustomProgres
// for showing the ProgressBar

customProgress.showProgress(#Context, getString(#StringId), #boolean);

// for hiding the ProgressBar

customProgress.hideProgress();
