Android - Handler

Now the result is more like a progress bar, so when you click it goes from the left to the right using

An instance of Handler class created in a scope of the main thread can update the user interface. For instance, if you create new instance of Handler class in onCreate() method of your Activity, this handler will be assigned to the main thread and therefore all runnable tasks posted to this handler can update the user interface. The Handler class provides methods for receiving instances of the Message or Runnable class.
