Try using RelativeLayout as a parent of the ListView and AVLoadingIndicatorView , and settings the layout_centerInParent attribute of AVLoadingIndicatorView to true :

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <com.wang.avi.AVLoadingIndicatorView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_centerInParent="true"
            android:background="#000"
            style="@style/AVLoadingIndicatorView.Large"
            app:indicatorName="BallPulseIndicator"
            android:id="@+id/avi"/>

        <ListView
            android:id="@+id/visitor_listview"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

    </RelativeLayout>

</LinearLayout>

Simply You can use the Progress Dialog. Example is given below

        ProgressDialog progressDialog;
        @Override
        protected void onPreExecute() {

            progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(getActivity(), "", "Please  Wait ", true, false);

        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {

                    if(progressDialog.isShowing()){
                    progressDialog.dismiss();
                }

        }
