Example usage for ContentLoadingProgressBar

Question

I just found the ContentLoadingProgressBar class from the Android developer site. I searched but couldn't find any usage or explanation for the class. I've listed down a few questions on the class and it would be great if someone answers them.

1. How is it different from ProgressBar?
2. Should we show/hide the ProgressBar ourself?
3. Styling the ProgressBar?

Answer 1

I had tried this :

<android.support.v4.widget.ContentLoadingProgressBar
        android:id="@+id/address_looking_up"
        style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleLarge"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:visibility="visible" />

And it works on Android 5.0. I think the style matters after my test.

And the display effect of this widget depends on the Theme of your App, I'm afraid.
