Create this class for Android < API Level 11 and use it instead the default ProgressDialog. It uses reflection to set the visbility to GONE:

public class CustomProgressDialog extends ProgressDialog {

public CustomProgressDialog(Context context) {
    super(context);
}

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    try {
        Method method = TextView.class.getMethod("setVisibility",
                Integer.TYPE);

        Field[] fields = this.getClass().getSuperclass()
                .getDeclaredFields();

        for (Field field : fields) {
            if (field.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("mProgressNumber")) {
                field.setAccessible(true);
                TextView textView = (TextView) field.get(this);
                method.invoke(textView, View.GONE);
            }

            if (field.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("mProgressPercent")) {
                field.setAccessible(true);
                TextView textView = (TextView) field.get(this);
                method.invoke(textView, View.GONE);
            }
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e(TAG,
                "Failed to invoke the progressDialog method 'setVisibility' and set 'mProgressNumber' to GONE.",
                e);
    }
}
}

Answer 3

progDialog.setProgressNumberFormat(null);
progDialog.setProgressPercentFormat(null);
