Hi Johannes, i think when your list data is in process fetch from server, you can create your listview or other widgets on activity.only you have make sure after thread which one fetching data from server will send message to your ui thread about completion dat fetching. and then on resume you can call your listview adapter notifydatasetchanged. and while your data fetching thread is in progress you can show progress dialog.as far as i concerned this solution will atleast show your list acivity loaded after progess dialog is dissapear
