You need to call requestWindowFeature in onCreate before setContentView

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS);
        setContentView(R.layout.search_screen);

And Assuming you're using AsyncTask for Populating the list

onPreExecute() will call setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(true);

onPostExecute() will call setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false);
