android progress circle

In Android, you can use a progress circle or a circular progress bar to indicate that some operation is in progress. Here's how you can create a progress circle in your Android app:

1. Add a ProgressBar to your layout: In your XML layout file, add a ProgressBar element with the style attribute set to "@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Small" or "@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Large" to set the size of the progress circle. You can also set other attributes like android:layout_width and android:layout_height to control the size and position of the progress circle.

<ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/progress_circle"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    android:style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Small" />

2. Show or hide the progress circle: In your Java code, you can show or hide the progress circle based on the state of your app. For example, you can show the progress circle when a network request is being made, and hide it when the request is complete.

ProgressBar progressBar = findViewById(R.id.progress_circle);

// Show the progress circle
progressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

// Hide the progress circle
progressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);

You can also set the visibility to View.INVISIBLE to hide the progress circle without changing the layout.

That's it! With these steps, you can create a progress circle in your Android app and show or hide it as needed.
