Add a Spinner/Progress bar into a text view?

I'm trying to add a spinner/progress bar into the left side of a TextView.

 ________________
| O   MY TEXT    |
|________________|

O = spinner/progress bar

At first my thought was to add a TextView and add a ProgressBar on top of it. Is it possible to do this in a TextView itself? if not what's best way to do this?

   <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/latlongLocation"
            android:layout_width="150dp"
            android:layout_height="23dp"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
            android:layout_marginBottom="21dp"
            android:background="@drawable/black"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:singleLine="true"
            android:textColor="#202020"
            android:textSize="11sp" />

         <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent">

            <ProgressBar
               android:id="@+id/progressBar1"
               style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleLarge"
               android:layout_width="wrap_content"
               android:layout_height="wrap_content"
               android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
               android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />

        </RelativeLayout>

   </RelativeLayout>

Use FrameLayout. With it you can place views like in card stack.

Little example:

<!-- Example of parent -->
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:padding="16dp"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <FrameLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@android:color/black">

        <ProgressBar
            style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Large"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="90dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
            android:textSize="32dp"
            android:textColor="@android:color/white"
            android:text="Test text"/>
    </FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Would look like this
