Drawing a ProgressBar on top of other views programmatically

I would like to create a Java method that's capable of drawing progress indicators on top of different views (ImageViews, Buttons, etc.. ). So that I can just call showProgess(View v) and hideProgress(View v) and the progress indicator will overlay only the passed view. What are the steps needed to achieve this?

I'm not sure if its possible by just "writing a method"

If we have TextView and you want to show progress as overlay of it you can:

Create ViewTextViewWithProgress class:

ViewTextViewWithProgress extends RelativeLayout {

(...) }

Then use RelativeLayout layout and put into it ordinary TextView and you progress indicator.

Use your ViewTextViewWithProgress instead of ordinary TextView

A good place to start creating custom views: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/custom-components.html
