Android progress bar keeps spinning

Question

I'm trying to use a progress bar (the normal one, not the horizontal one) as a compass of sorts, but for some reason the bar just keeps spinning without control. I've set the indeterminate to false, both in the xml and in the attached Java code, but it seems to do nothing.

This is the xml code for the View:

    <ProgressBar
        android:id="@+id/brujula"
        style="?android:attr/progressBarStyle"
        android:layout_width="229dp"
        android:layout_height="507dp"
        android:layout_marginStart="91dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="90dp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="91dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="135dp"
        android:visibility="invisible"
        android:indeterminate="false"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

The code I'm using to set it to false in Java too is

ProgressBar brujula = (ProgressBar) FindViewById(R.id.brujula);
brujula.setIndeterminate(false);

I have no idea whatsoever of why it keeps doing that, so any help at all will be appreciated

Answer 1

If you want to use the Progress bar again it's better to just hide it:

brujula.setVisibility(View.GONE);

Or you can remove it completely:

((ViewGroup) brujula.getParent()).removeView(brujula);

Answer 2

hi try this if you want to show progressbar do like this.

ProgressBar brujula = (ProgressBar) FindViewById(R.id.brujula);
brujula.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

and where you want to stop loading and want to hide progressbar use

brujula.setVisibility(View.GONE);
