Those dark spinning progress dialogs in the Amazon and Engadget apps - are those standard in Android?

It's a ProgressDialog, with setIndeterminate(true).
From http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html#ProgressDialog
ProgressDialog dialog = ProgressDialog.show(MyActivity.this, "",
"Loading. Please wait...", true);
An indeterminate progress bar doesn't actually show a bar, it shows a spinning activity circle thing. I'm sure you know what I mean :)

ProgressDialog is discouraged. According to the link you posted: "Avoid ProgressDialog. [...] If you need to indicate loading or indeterminate progress, you should instead follow the design guidelines for Progress & Activity and use a ProgressBar in your layout."

Currently, ProgressDialog has been taken out of the docs and the solution does not appear to be viable any longer.

To dismiss the dialog, use
dialog.dismiss();

ProgressDialog is now deprecated, check this answer: stackoverflow.com/a/45351516/5090196
Today things have changed a little.
Now we avoid use ProgressDialog to show spinning progress:
If you want to put in your app a spinning progress you should use an Activity indicators:

Update
Thay have renamed the component to Progress Indicators now.
