You would have to make your own progress bar. – Fuld

Answer 1

Pass null to setProgressNumberFormat() and setProgressPercentFormat() when you create your ProgressDialog. Note that this is only available on API Level 11 and higher.

Thanks for your response @CommonsWare, too bad I'm using API 8. Do you know any workaround? – Feces

@Emkey: Change to use API Level 11, or use reflection to call those methods. AFAIK, the progress number and percentage do not exist on prior versions of Android. Or, do not use ProgressDialog. – Nag

@CommonsWare: This is correct. The progress number AND percentage will also be displayed in prior API levels. Iam also searching for a workaround – Hymettus

@Nag How can i show progress with KB/MB downloaded. I would like to show the progress same as when we download the app from the Play store. – Bryon

I needed a similar functionality -> to hide the percenatge and min/max when the progressDialog is in indeterminate state.

private void setIndeterminate(boolean isIndeterminate) {
    progressDialog.setIndeterminate(isIndeterminate);
    if (isIndeterminate) {
        progressDialog.setProgressNumberFormat(null);
        progressDialog.setProgressPercentFormat(null);
    } else {
        progressDialog.setProgressNumberFormat("%1d/%2d");
        NumberFormat percentInstance = NumberFormat.getPercentInstance();
        percentInstance.setMaximumFractionDigits(0);
        progressDialog.setProgressPercentFormat(percentInstance);
    }
}

If you want to disable the above number status from progress dialogue, then you should remove this code.

progress1.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);

Here i will show you that how to create progress bar which will not show any status

progress1.setMessage("Fetching Files...! ");
progress1.setIndeterminate(true);             
 progress1.show();
