Not sure if there is an impact with navigation drawer or not, but to add the progress dialog in the action bar, you can do that : in your onCreate()
, add this before calling setContentView()
:
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS);
Then before you want your progress bar to show up, add :
setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(true);
And then set it to false to hide it.
I hope that will help you !
