Writing the filepath names when synching

• Unpleasant flickering
• Show a sync progress bar or similar instead

Sure thing @VarunT11. Are you thinking of participating in Google Summer of Code? Here is a link to our main forum post that should help you get started: https://forum.odk-x.org/t/welcome-gsoc-applicants/1195

Current Scenario:

• During Sync of the Application with the Server, a ProgressDialog is displayed which shows the current status of Sync.
  

Issues:

• ProgressDialog Class was deprecated in API Level 26
  (Source : https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ProgressDialog)
• The Progress Dialog did not display the current Progress of the Sync and just showed a spinner.

Proposal:

• Implementation of the Progress Bar (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ProgressBar) instead of the Progress Dialog in the Application.

PS: @jbeorse @linl33 @wbrunette Please take a look at the above proposal and suggest if I should work on it or not!

If you are working on it the Progress bar then using Progress Indicators in place of the Progress bar is better as it is a Material Component,
For details see - https://material.io/components/progress-indicators/android#using-progress-indicators

Though it looks the same as a Progress bar, still using Material Components is a better practice

@VarunT11 one issue with a progress bar is you will be unaware of how many total steps are needed in the syncing process. We definitely need to move to a newer UI widget and replace the ProgressDialog. The issue is assigned to you to work on currently.

@wbrunette @jbeorse With the updated progress bar do you think we can close this issue?
