Android - Progress Circle

The easiest way to make a progress circle is using through a class called ProgressDialog. The loading bar can also be made through that class. The only logical difference between bar and circle is , that the former is used when you know the total time for waiting for a particular task whereas the later is used when you don't know the waiting time.
In order to this , you need to instantiate an object of this class. Its syntax is.
ProgressDialog progress = new ProgressDialog(this);

Now you can set some properties of this dialog. Such as, its style,its text e.t.c
progress.setMessage("Downloading Music :) ");
progress.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_SPINNER);
progress.setIndeterminate(true);

Apart from these methods, there are other methods that are provided by the ProgressDialog class.
getMax()
This methods returns the maximum value of the progress
incrementProgressBy(int diff)
This method increment the progress bar by the difference of value passed as a parameter
setIndeterminate(boolean indeterminate)
This method set the progress indicator as determinate or indeterminate
setMax(int max)
This method set the maximum value of the progress dialog
setProgress(int value)
This method is used to update the progress dialog with some specific value
show(Context context, CharSequence title, CharSequence message)
This is a static method, used to display progress dialog
This example demonstrates the spinning use of the progress dialog. It display a spinning progress dialog on pressing the button.
To experiment with this example, you need to run this on an actual device on after developing the application according to the steps below.
Following is the content of the modified main activity file src/MainActivity.java.
package com.example.sairamkrishna.myapplication;

import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
   Button b1;
   private  ProgressDialog progressBar;
   private int progressBarStatus = 0;
   private Handler progressBarbHandler = new Handler();
   private long fileSize = 0;

   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      b1=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button);

      b1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
         @Override
         public void onClick(View v) {
            progressBar = new ProgressDialog(v.getContext());
            progressBar.setCancelable(true);
            progressBar.setMessage("File downloading ...");
            progressBar.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_SPINNER);
            progressBar.setProgress(0);
            progressBar.setMax(100);
            progressBar.show();
            progressBarStatus = 0;

            fileSize = 0;
            new Thread(new Runnable() {
               public void run() {
                  while (progressBarStatus < 100) {
                     progressBarStatus = downloadFile();

                     try {
                        Thread.sleep(1000);
                     } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                     }

                     progressBarbHandler.post(new Runnable() {

                           progressBar.setProgress(progressBarStatus);
                        }
                     });
                  }

                  if (progressBarStatus >= 100) {
                     try {
                        Thread.sleep(2000);
                     } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                     }
                     progressBar.dismiss();
                  }
               }
            }).start();
         }
      });
   }
	
   public int downloadFile() {
      while (fileSize <= 1000000) {
         fileSize++;

         if (fileSize == 100000) {
            return 10;
         }else if (fileSize == 200000) {
            return 20;
