I have a program that copies a file to the sd card. The program takes a while to run, and now it just freezes while the file is being copied.
I saw some other programs that have a animation of a wheel spinning in the center of the screen while the file is being down loaed.
I tried to google spin control, but this brought up animation about a selector control using spinning wheels.
Is this feature built into the android?
Use a ProgressBar widget with indeterminate=”true”. You can use a ProgressDialog, read http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html
Also, learn about threads, as you should be doing your file save in a background thread. http://developer.android.com/guide/components/processes-and-threads.html
