Question

I want to display progressbar(spinner) to the right of editText when activity is doing some processing and hide upon completion, is there a simple way to do this?

Answer 1

I’d use RelativeLayout, something like this:

<RelativeLayout>
    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/the_id"/>
    <ProgressBar
        style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleSmall"
        android:layout_alignTop="@id/the_id"
        android:layout_alignBottom="@id/the_id"
        android:layout_alignRight="@id/the_id"/>
</RelativeLayout>
