        ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(youravtivity.this);
        dialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_SPINNER);
        dialog.setMessage("Loading. Please wait...");
        dialog.setIndeterminate(true);
        dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false);

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);
