Feature Request: Progress Indicator

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be great to have a GDK feature which allows me to display a progress 
indicator in a standard way similar to the one displayed when connecting to a 
WiFi network on Glass (the "spinning" lines on the bottom of the display, kind 
of like at the end of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3ncmeGaKN0).

Also, see related stackoverflow question:

Thanks!

So the typical way this is going to be used is when loading data for a card.  
So you want to have a way to turn progress on and off based on the loading 
status.  I've tried the standard android progress:

        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);
        setProgressBarIndeterminate(true);
        setProgressBarVisibility(true);

 However this appears to have no effect.

Also, the 0-100 progress indicator would be useful for building our own 
confirmation cards.

Like Glass does with "Sending (swipe down to cancel)".

I've extracted Google Glass Progress Bar from GlassHome.apk and created a 
library project based on that: https://github.com/pif/glass-progress-bar
http://i.stack.imgur.com/aQeD6.gif

 - supports indeterminate
 - supports default progress

Usage is described in README in the repository.

That's for exploratory purposes only. Not for any production apps. Everyone is 
still waiting for a full-featured set of Glass Views.

I want to explicitly request that any GDK implementation of a progress bar be 
compatible with LiveCards. This isn't a given, because low-frequency LiveCards 
use RemoteViews, and high-frequency use a Surface - neither of which is 
compatible with a simple widget like the SliderView so helpfully extracted in 
#5 above.

Ideally, a progress indicator would be something that a GDK app could invoke 
directly on a LiveCard (which would then render the progress bar itself), 
rather than an add-on component like this. Similar to how the Activity class 
has the setProgress* methods in the conventional Android SDK.

This has been fixed with XE22:
