Custom progress bar in android application gives it a personal touch. In this tutorial, we’ll create a custom progress bar by implementing a spinning logo icon in our application. Most of the time, we end up using a ProgressBar as the loading icon while the data gets loaded. Going by the current trend, apps like Reddit, UBER, Foodpanda and Twitter have replaced the commonly used Progress Bar with their application’s icon as the loading icon. This gives their application as well as logo brand a touch that makes them stand out from the rest.
A user interface element that indicates the progress of an operation. Progress bar supports two modes to represent progress: determinate, and indeterminate. For a visual overview of the difference between determinate and indeterminate progress modes, see Progress & activity. Display progress bars to a user in a non-interruptive way. Show the progress bar in your app's user interface or in a notification instead of within a dialog.
Indeterminate Progress
Use indeterminate mode for the progress bar when you do not know how long an operation will take. Indeterminate mode is the default for progress bar and shows a cyclic animation without a specific amount of progress indicated.
Determinate Progress
Use determinate mode for the progress bar when you want to show that a specific quantity of progress has occurred. For example, the percent remaining of a file being retrieved, the amount records in a batch written to database, or the percent remaining of an audio file that is playing.
