  <p>I want to show a progressDialog while retrieving JSON from any server. So I had used AsyncTask  as a solution (not sure any different way out). </p>
  
  <p>Everything is fine, the ProgressDialog works properly until I call .get() method using AsyncTask instance. I suppose it's blocking UI somehow. Here is my AsyncTask:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-java prettyprint-override"><code>public class myAsync extends AsyncTask&lt;String, String, List&gt; {
  
      String message; // for dialog message
      ProgressDialog progress; 
      Intent myIntent;
      Context ctx;
  
      public myAsync(String message, Context ctx) {
          this.message = message;
          this.ctx = ctx;
          progress = new ProgressDialog(ctx);
      }
  
      @Override
      protected void onPreExecute() { 
          progress.setMessage(message);
          progress.setIndeterminate(true);
          progress.setCancelable(false);
          progress.show();    
      }
  
      @Override
      protected List doInBackground(String... params) {
          //returns any list after the task
          return anyList; 
      }
  
      @Override
      protected void onPostExecute(List result) {
          if(progress.isShowing())
              progress.dismiss();
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And here is myActivity which is calls AsyncTask:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-java prettyprint-override"><code>myAsync asyncTask = new myAsync("Loading...", this);
  asyncTask.execute("Any string", "Other string");
  asyncTask.get(); // If I comment out this line, ProgressDialog works
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After execute, when I tried to log the result from doInBackground and onPostExecute both there is no problem. But if I want to get with .get() the result ProgressDialog is not shown or shown so little time (maybe 0.2 seconds)</p>
  
  <p>What's the problem? </p>
