It's a problem related with your workflow. Since you're doing additional tasks on the UI thread, the ProgressDialog doesn't get to be shown.

You should either spawn a thread for doing the extra work, then dismiss your dialog and launch your new Intent with runOnUiThread() or with a Handler.

Although, the best option would be using AsyncTask, showing your ProgressDialog onPreExecute(), doing your work in doInBackground() and then dismissing it onPostExecute() and launching your new activity.

I think it is because you are dismissing it right away
