In addition to the progress dialogs described in the other answers, you can:

  • Add a ProgressBar to your activity, as shown here
  • Use the progress indicator in the title bar of your activity, as shown here
  • Use a RotateAnimation and your own custom image

  • I see setProgressBarVisibility() in one of your examples - how do you define the style of the progress bar? I wanted to use the spinning circular graphic but Im not sure how to set that? – Eno Feb 24 '10 at 18:29

    I haven't used it. But, try this: http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/view/ProgressBar2.html – CommonsWare Feb 24 '10 at 19:05
