As your Question is Short, you will get answer in that manner.

You can use Thread or AsyncTask for making some ProgressDialog being Visible for the User.

Use ProgressDialog in UI Block time. Set ProgressDialog cancel-able false. So user do not able to access UI.

You can override dispatchTouchEvent and stop the call to super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev); Any touch event will have to go through this method before it is handled.

Set a boolean that you control and use it in the method to determine whether you wish to block control.

private boolean stopUserInteractions = false;

public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    if (stopUserInteractions) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
    }
}

You can pop up a modal, non-cancelable progress dialog that blocks the user from doing anything. However, you should never block the UI thread itself.
