What does the 'indeterminate' mean in ProgressDialog?
From wiktionary:Indeterminate: Not accurately determined or determinable.It basically just means you're unsure how long the action will take so you cannot say for example something is 50% done.
This normally just means the progress will be displayed as a constantly moving loading bar rather than a percentage or the like.
Basically when setProgressStyle(ProgressDialoge.STYLE_SPINNER) is taken then setIndeterminate() will be true because a circle(Spinner) will rotate, which shows that "do not know how much time it is going to take". When take ProgressStyle(ProgressDialoge.STYLE_HORIZANTAL) we will take setIndeterminate() as false since it take a value/percentage bar like how much percentage it was completed with setProgress(value).
