                "Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                        if (Registration.isRunning == false) {
                            startService(new Intent(
                                    getApplicationContext(),
                                    Registration.class));
                        }
                        staticInfo();
                        if (Registration.ruid == null)
                            Registration.ruid = uId;
                        progressBar = new ProgressDialog(
                                getApplicationContext());
                        progressBar.setCancelable(true);
                        progressBar.setMessage("Loading Activity...");

                                .setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
                        progressBar.setProgress(0);
                        progressBar.setMax(100);
                        progressBar.show();
                        progressBarStatus = 0;

                                    progressBarStatus = 100;

                                    progressBarHandler.post(new Runnable() {

                                            progressBar
                                                    .setProgress(progressBarStatus);
                                        }
                                    });
                                }

                                if (progressBarStatus >= 100) {

                                    progressBar.dismiss();
                                    startActivity(new Intent(

                                            StatisticDisplay.class));
                                }
                            }
                        }).start();

                    }

                });
        AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
        alert.show();
    } else {
        startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
