setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibi         


        

Answer 1

You are trying to set just the Property of Activity. Instead Bring up a dialog using ProgressDialog, so that Ui will not be accessible

ProgressDialog dialog = ProgressDialog.show(this, "", "Please wait...", true);

Edit: If you do not want to use ProgressDialog, get the Root Layout and call

layout.setEnabled(false)
