remove percentage shown below the progress dialog
===

I am getting the percentage below the horizontal progress dialog, as shown in the attached image.
I want to remove that.

I got the method  setProgressPercentFormat(null), but that work in api level 11 or higher.
I need to do in api level 8.

So, how can I do that?
Please help me.

I also got the suggestion to customize my progressDialog, but don't know how to do that. Please direct me.
