Activity indicators are different on Android.

On Android they are not views that you add to other views, but in fact windows

Try NOT adding it to any view, just showing it

if(Ti.App.platformName == 'iphone'){
    winAccueil.add(actInd);
}

It looks like you create a view winAccueil but nowhere do you add it to the window. You can't display an indicator inside the view if the view isn't added to the window.
