Answer 1

Instead of you creating and handling a separate thread by yourself, use Asynctask. It will make your job easier. You can have a progress dialog displayed through out the execution of this async task and you can update the progress dialog from asynctask using publishProgress()

Answer 2

You can do it using AsyncTask..by adding the thread part into the doInBackground method..show the progress dialog in onPreExecute and dismiss it in onPostExecute..

ex:

public class MyTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {

private Context context;
private ProgressDialog progressDialog;

public MyTask (Context context) {
    this.context = context;
}

@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
        progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(context, "", "Loading...", true);
}

/* 
 * @see android.os.AsyncTask#doInBackground(Params[])
 */
@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... arg0) {
    //your json thread part
}

@Override
protected void onPostExecute(final String result) {
        progressDialog.dismiss();
}
}
