Use a progress indicator to display a visual cue that a task whose duration can be measured is progressing. If you cannot calculate how long the task will take, consider using an activity indicator instead.

Class	ProgressBarField
Supported since	BlackBerry® Java® SDK 6.0
Example

For more information about progress indicators, see the UI Guidelines.
