I am writing for Android, and I can’t figure out how to replicate the effect of the Android browser where the progress bar is at the top of the screen, with the webview below it, yet when you scroll down, the bar scrolls with the page.

I’ve tried placing both the webview and the progress bar into a scrollview, but when I do that, the webview becomes completely unresponsive and will not load (or respond to any commands, for that matter).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

P.S., I’m using the Eclipse IDE, and I’d like to to continue using the 1.5 SDK if possible to maintain backwards compatibility (and just to be able use my own application — my phone isn’t getting 2.1 for a couple of months).

    You can achieve something similar to the progress bar in the Browser by using the Progress Bar which is available as part of the title of the Window.

    Use the Activity.requestWindowFeature() method passing Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS as the argument to switch on the progress bar.

    This FAQ answer has a little more detail.
