The way I do this on Android is display a dialog on the main thread (which
essentially locks out the UI to the user while not blocking the actual
thread) and then do all the heavy work in another thread.
As Nick mentioned, AsyncTask is a great way to do this...

Are you sure you want the main thread blocked? This could cause the
"Application Not Responding" error to pop up during your lengthy process.
And users tend to get very confused when their phones become unresponsive.
