I would do this:

private Handler handler;

public yourConstructor(Context context){
    progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(context);
    progressDialog.setMessage("wait");
    progressDialog.setCancelable(true);
    handler = new Handler();
}

@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) { 
    progressDialog.show();
    new Thread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {

            //your bd access here

            handler.post(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    progressDialog.cancel();
                }
            );
        }
    }).start();
}
