Android: indeterminate horizontal progress (dialog) bar

android, android-dialog, android-progressbar

Solution

Here we go - I just found it. :) android:indeterminateOnly="true" is the key.

    <ProgressBar
        android:id="@+id/progressBar1"
        style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
        android:indeterminateOnly="true" 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

Problem

What's the best way to create an indeterminate, horizontal progress bar? If I do this, ``` dialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL); dialog.setIndeterminate(true); ``` I still get the progress numbers (percent, etc) along the bottom. On ICS, I can do this, ``` dialog.setProgressNumberFormat(""); dialog.setProgressPercentFormat(new NumberFormat() { @Override public StringBuffer format(double value, StringBuffer buffer, FieldPosition field) { return new StringBuffer(); } @Override public StringBuffer format(long value, StringBuffer buffer, FieldPosition field) { return new StringBuffer(); } @Override public Number parse(String string, ParsePosition position) { return 0; } }); ``` to get rid of the numbers at the bottom, but those two methods are only available on ICS.
