Android – show an indeterminate progressbar without the dialog

It’s explained in full in ApiDemos inside the SDK.
The example that you want is named: ProgressBar3.java and can be found in \ApiDemos\src\com\example\android\apis\view\

Also, if you want to remove the borders of the dialog so that only the progress bar appears you can define the dialog itself as a transparent view/overlay (it’s explained in the examples as well).
