Display circular ProgressBar in Android

Karan Balkar
Hello friends! In the past we have discussed about creating and displaying a basic ProgressBar in Android. A ProgressBar, as the name suggests is basically used to indicate the progress of an operation. By default the progress bar is a spinning wheel (an indeterminate indicator).

In order to create a circular progress bar we need to add a new XML file in the drawable folder.

Implement Lightbox using jQuery plugin

Karan Balkar
Hi guys! Lightbox is a well-known JavaScript technique used to display images or any web content using modal dialogs. Not too long ago, the lightbox plugin was written in jQuery that allowed developers to modify the code and come up with new plugins that carry out the same task. Colorbox is one such jQuery plugin that we can use to implement a lightbox. Through this post, I will try to implement a sample HTML page that displays a lightbox using the Colorbox plugin.

Display ProgressBar in Android

Karan Balkar
Hey everyone! A ProgressBar is basically a visual indicator of progress in some operation. Implementing a ProgressBar helps in the understanding of processes running on threads separate from the main User Interface (UI) and the communication between threads. As mentioned on the Android developer's page, a progress bar can also be made indeterminate. In indeterminate mode, the progress bar shows a cyclic animation without an indication of progress. This mode is used by applications when the length of the task is unknown.
