Answer 2

Progress dialog will not be displayed with async task

This is a question that I posted that contains most of the sample code that you will need to get a progress bar

basically it is launching a second tread that will do what you need (in this case, it loaded the SQL database for my application), leaving the UI thread executing it (showing the progress dialog)

Answer 3

• Create a ProgressDialog in Activity :

   private ProgressDialog progressDialog; 

• Set ProgressDialog in any action you want to spend some time in:

   progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(FoodDriveModule.this, "", "Loading..."); 

• Use Thread to process the progress bar:

   new Thread() { public void run() { try { sleep(1500); // do some task (whatever you want to do) } catch(Exception e) { Log.e("tag",e.getMessage()); } }.start(); }
