Question

i have implemented a textwatcher so when i am writing something i want my progress bar to become visible( and ofcourse how to make it unvisible at onCreate)

Answer 1

In order to hide a control such as a ProgressBar in Android use the setVisibility() method like that:

mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);   // To set it visible

and:

mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE); // To set it invisible

So just set it to View.INVISIBLE inside your Activity onCreate() method, then set it to View.VISIBLE when you need it to be visible.
