Unable to show Progress dialog when actionbar menu item click

Question

I have 3 menu items in action bar when I click any one of them data retrieved from webservice which is working fine. but while retrieving I need to show Progress dialog in the screen .I have tried different ways like starting in new thread, AsyncTask. But finally stuck. Please can anyone help me out. Here is my complete code.

    import hello.aws.graph.BatteryGraph;

public class BatteryGraph extends AppCompatActivity {

    static ProgressDialog dialog = null;
    static String value;
    public static Menu menu;

    static ArrayList<TrackingBean> Battery;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {



        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_line_chart);

        if (savedInstanceState == null) {
            getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment()).commit();
        }


    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        Intent newIntent;


        switch (item.getItemId()) {



            case R.id.bb_menu_favorites:


                    value="favorites";
                    getData(value);

                    getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment()).commit();
                break;

            case R.id.bb_menu_mylist:

                    value="mylist";
                    getData(value);

                    getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment()).commit();

                break;

            case R.id.bb_menu_recents:

                    value="myrecents";
                   getData(value);

                    getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment()).commit();

                break;

        }
        return true;
    }
    public void getData(final String value)
    {
