   class LoaderTask extends AsyncTask<Void , Void ,String>{
        ProgressDialog progressDialog ;
        public LoaderTask(){
            progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(SplashActivity.this);
            progressDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
            progressDialog.setCancelable(false);
            progressDialog.setMessage("Loading app data...");
        }

        @Override

            super.onPostExecute(result);
            progressDialog.dismiss();
            showPopUp(result);
        }
    }

    private String convertStreamToString(InputStream is) {
        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

        String line = null;
        try {
            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                sb.append(line + "\n");
            }

            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        return sb.toString();
    }

    public String connect(String url)
    {
        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(url);
        HttpResponse response;

            if (entity != null) {
                InputStream instream = entity.getContent();
                String result= convertStreamToString(instream);
                instream.close();
                return result;
            }
        } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
        } catch (IOException e) {
        }
        return null;
    }

    public void showPopUp(String result){
        try{
            JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(result);
            for(int i = 0 ; i <  jsonArray.length() ; i++){
                JSONObject o = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
                String http_response = o.getString("offer");
                System.out.println("test   "+http_response);
                ObjectItemData[i] = new ObjectItem(http_response);
            }

          //and populate your listview here
        } catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
        finally{System.out.println("Success");

        }

    }

and call this to do task new LoaderTask().execute();
