Delete the calling of the original set progress bar methods.

I also had to comment out these two lines of code which generated a NullPointerException

getActivity().setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(true); getActivity().setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false);

Also, the progress animation is not represented by a bar anymore, but it has a spinning circle. Could not modify it's color, but i'll skip it for now.

Hi Paul

Just to double check do you have the following line inside your onCreate() method before the call to setContentView()

 requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS);

You must have this line in before you can set the ProgressBar.
