Unable to display progress dialog in android

Question

I am trying to show progress dialog but it's not showing on my mobile screen.

final ProgressDialog progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(getActivity());
progressDialog.setMessage("Checking Meter Status....");
progressDialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_SPINNER);
progressDialog.setIndeterminate(true);
progressDialog.setCancelable(false);
progressDialog.show();

Any help would be highly appreciated?

In the android developer documentation for dialogs ,

Caution: Android includes another dialog class called ProgressDialog that shows a dialog with a progress bar. This widget is deprecated because it prevents users from interacting with the app while progress is being displayed. If you need to indicate loading or indeterminate progress, you should follow the design guidelines for Progress & Activity and use a ProgressBar in your layout, instead of using ProgressDialog .

As a matter of fact it is always recommended to follow guidelines issued in the developer documentation, so you should also do the same.
