Implementation of the fragment with the ability to display indeterminate progress indicator when you are waiting for the initial data. Based on ListFragment.

A sample application is available on Google Play:

This library is compatible from API 4 (Android 1.6).

To display the progress fragment you need the following code:

• Create your implementation of progress fragment

public class MyProgressFragment extends ProgressFragment {
	// your code of fragment
}

or if you use ActionBarSherlock

public class MyProgressFragment extends SherlockProgressFragment {
	// your code of fragment
}

• Setup content view and empty text (optional) in onActivityCreate() method.

@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
    // Setup content view
    setContentView(R.layout.content);
    // Setup text for empty content
    setEmptyText(R.string.empty);
    // ...
}

• Display of indeterminate progress indicator

setContentShown(false);

• When the data is loaded to set whether the content is empty and show content

setContentEmpty(/* true if content is empty else false */);
setContentShown(true);

Android-ProgressFragment library is now pushed to Maven Central as a AAR, so you just need to add the following dependency to your build.gradle.

ProgressFragment (support-v4):

dependencies {
    compile 'com.github.johnkil.android-progressfragment:progressfragment:1.4.+'
}

ProgressFragment (native):

dependencies {
    compile 'com.github.johnkil.android-progressfragment:progressfragment-native:1.4.+'
}

SherlockProgressFragment:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.0.0'
    compile('com.github.johnkil.android-progressfragment:sherlockprogressfragment:1.4.+') {
        exclude module: 'support-v4'
    }
}
