Would your suggestion actually work? I'm not convinced it's that simple. You still wouldn't see the progress bar appear on the screen, much less update smoothly on demand, because you would be constantly tying up the UI thread. I think you need to create the progress bar on the main UI thread, set up its max, init its val to 0, then make a separate thread that reads the file and occasionally sets the progress bar's "progress" to a new val (you can do that from a nonUI thread apparently, works for me).
