Display a Dialog while video is streaming

Question

I have created an application that displays XML data information on the top section of my Linear layout. Below that I have a video that is streaming and takes a while to start playing. How would I set a dialogue to display until the video appears?

I'd suggest this tutorial: http://www.helloandroid.com/tutorials/using-threads-and-progressdialog

That helped me many times already. It clearly shows how to display a dialog while you are busy doing something else.
