You don't need to import any custom library.

I prefer to use the modern AlertDialog so this is the Kotlin version for the great answer posted by Kishan Donga in this page.

Kotlin code:

fun setProgressDialog(context:Context, message:String):AlertDialog {
    val llPadding = 30
    val ll = LinearLayout(context)
    ll.orientation = LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL
    ll.setPadding(llPadding, llPadding, llPadding, llPadding)
    ll.gravity = Gravity.CENTER
    var llParam = LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
                  LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                  LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)
    llParam.gravity = Gravity.CENTER
    ll.layoutParams = llParam

    val progressBar = ProgressBar(context)
    progressBar.isIndeterminate = true
    progressBar.setPadding(0, 0, llPadding, 0)
    progressBar.layoutParams = llParam

    llParam = LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                        ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)
    llParam.gravity = Gravity.CENTER
    val tvText = TextView(context)
    tvText.text = message
    tvText.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#000000"))
    tvText.textSize = 20.toFloat()
    tvText.layoutParams = llParam

    ll.addView(progressBar)
    ll.addView(tvText)

    val builder = AlertDialog.Builder(context)
    builder.setCancelable(true)
    builder.setView(ll)

    val dialog = builder.create()
    val window = dialog.window
    if (window != null) {
        val layoutParams = WindowManager.LayoutParams()
        layoutParams.copyFrom(dialog.window?.attributes)
        layoutParams.width = LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT
        layoutParams.height = LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT
                dialog.window?.attributes = layoutParams
    }
    return dialog
}

Usage:

val dialog = setProgressDialog(this, "Loading..")
dialog.show()

Output:
