Android Activity Indicator?

i am really a novice in android I am doing an app connected with a webservice(xml) and it works good, but my app load the screen with the views incomplete and then shows the data. Iwould like to implement a " gettin ready" dialog when all the data has been downloaded and showed from the server.

Thanks for your help

use AsyncTask for showing progress bar and first downloading data from server then so it without freezing UI and rendering of incomplete views — ρяσѕρєя K

From http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html#ProgressDialog

ProgressDialog progressDialog= ProgressDialog.show(MyActivity.this, "", 
                "Loading. Please wait...", true);

progressDialog.dismiss(); // for close the dialog bar.
