Display Progress Bar until the response comes from server

Question

I want to display some text from server, but till then I want to display Progress Bar. Can anyone help me out. Response is in the form of JSON

Use doInBackground of AsyncTask to request to the server.show progrss dialog on onPreExecute and in onPostExecute cancel dialog and handle response — Rasel, Oct 28 '11 at 06:11
In which form do you get the response?XML or JASON or just a html page? if html then you can go with xDragonZ. Be specific about your question plz. — Jana, Oct 28 '11 at 06:12

Add a Progress Bar in WebView

final ProgressDialog pd = ProgressDialog.show(this, "", "Please Wait",
            true);


    final WebView engine = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
    engine.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {

        @Override
        public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {

            if (pd.isShowing() && pd != null) {
                pd.dismiss();
            }
        }
    });
    engine.loadUrl("http://www.domain.com/");

I've used AsyncTask to do this before. Make the progress dialog display in onPreExecute, and dismiss it in onPostExecute. Works very nicely, and it's nice and clean.
