Android: The progress bar in the window's title does not display

Question

I have a web view to override the built-in browser and I want to show a progress indicator on the title bar.

This is the code:

    @Override
public v

WebView.loadUrl is run in a native thread so setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false) gets called immediately pretty much. Also if you use Theme.NoTitleBar the title bar will not be shown and since the progress bar is in the title bar it won't be shown either.

Something like this should work.

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);

    setContentView(R.layout.browser);
    currentURL = BrowserActivity.this.getIntent().getExtras().getString("currentURL");

    try {
        mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
        mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        mWebView.setWebViewClient(new browserActivityClient());
        setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(true);
        mWebview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
           public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress) {
              if(progress == 100) {
                 setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false);
              }
           }
        });
        mWebView.loadUrl(currentURL);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e(getClass().getSimpleName(), "Browser: " + e.getMessage());
        Toast.makeText(this, e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    } 
}
