I would just like to display something like a dialog (but dialogs are modal only, right?)
when my activity is loading data in onCreate()
and to dismiss this “dialog” when complete.
Just to inform the user that data is loading.
How can I do this easily?
I do not want the user to be able to interact with the UI during this period.. just for him to sit and wait until data is loaded.
I found the solution for me was to use ProgressDialog and an AsyncTask
