Im building an Android application. It parses a feed which is stored in a DB. Each activity of the app is able to get this data from the DB.
Every activity can also call the Service, and make it refresh the data. When this is done I would like to display a loader. While the Service is downloading, the user is still free to navigate between activities. My question is; how can I display a loader that runs in all activities the user navigates to?
