How to show progress dialog in oncreate in android app?

Actually, I don't think your application is visiable yet .. not at the onCreate(). Check the eventing lifecycle ... onResume or maybe onStart ... where ever your Acitivity is actually visiable is where you should do this.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
