I’m still new to Java in general, so I decided some SOF input would be helpful on this question-

I have a Button that, when clicked, I want a ProgressBar to show next to it. I would like to do this with a style, preferably to just send the needed style via setBackgroundDrawable.

I’ve done this in CSS a number of times where I just add a class which contains the background element I need and pushes the text out a handful of pixels. I’m hoping I can do something similar because I have a lot of Button objects to perform this on.

I’ve used JS to create an example of what I want to accomplish. I’m hoping this will iterate my point better:

Please feel to let me know if there is a better way. I’m all ears! Thanks.

    I decided the best way to do this (to my knowledge) was to wrap my button in a horizontal LinearLayout. When the button is clicked, I add a new ProgressBar as child zero to my the layout (eg container.addView(myProgressBar, 0). When the loading is done, I then remove the first child from my layout container.removeViewAt(0). Viola.
