Visual indication of reloading-stats

[rtyley]

At the moment when you hit the reload button there's not really any visual indication that anything's going on - we should probably turn the reload button into a spinning-circle animation while loading.

There's an example of this behaviour when reloading the google plus activity stream in the google-plus android app - think that's the canonical image, I'm just not sure where we can get a copy.

Looks like this rotating drawable is progress_small_holo:

Given the apache licensing, we should be okay to take a copy and use this in our own app

Why not set an ActionView on the refresh menu item when it is clicked, and removing it when the loading is complete? You could attach an ImageView to it using the same drawable but include a rotate animation.

Thanks @eddieringle for fixing this.
