You can acheive this by using a progress bar in two ways.

1.Add a progress bar(the circle one) to act as a loading indicator.

To do this simple show a progress bar on start of the image download thread progressbar.show(); After the download is finished dismiss the progressbar progressbar.dismiss();

You can use AsyncTask for this
