Thanks for the tips. Seems ProgressBar is useless in this case, so I'll probably need to "hack" my own.
The ApiDemos contains a resource for circular progress-bars, \samples \android-8\ApiDemos\rescircular_progress.xml: <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android"> <item android:drawable="@drawable/progress_circular_background" /> <item> <rotate android:pivotX="50%" android:pivotY="50%" android:fromDegrees="0" android:toDegrees="360" android:drawable="@drawable/progress_particle" /> </item> </layer-list> So <rotate> is supported. Too bad <translate> isn't. On Jan 5, 3:39 am, Mark Murphy <[email protected]> wrote: > AFAIK, neither <rotate> nor <translate> are valid for a drawable > resource.
