        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            // Get the view from login.xml
            setContentView(R.layout.login);
            // Locate EditTexts in login.xml
            username = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.username);
            password = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.password);

            // Locate Buttons in main.xml

            // Login Button Click Listener
            loginbutton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

                public void onClick(View arg0) {
                    // Retrieve the text entered from the EditText
                    usernametxt = username.getText().toString();
                    passwordtxt = password.getText().toString();

                    // Send data to Parse.com for verification
                    ParseUser.logInInBackground(usernametxt, passwordtxt,
                            new LogInCallback() {
                                public void done(ParseUser user, ParseException e) {
                                        // If user exist and authenticated, send user to Welcome.class
                                    if(user !=null){

Solution 1

Define a progress bar as private ProgressDialog mProgress;

in oncreate use this

mProgress = new ProgressDialog(context);
mProgress.setTitle("Processing...");
mProgress.setMessage("Please wait...");
mProgress.setCancelable(false);
mProgress.setIndeterminate(true);

Now this

// Login Button Click Listener
    loginbutton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            mProgress.show();
            // Retrieve the text entered from the EditText
            usernametxt = username.getText().toString();
            passwordtxt = password.getText().toString();

            // Send data to Parse.com for verification
            ParseUser.logInInBackground(usernametxt, passwordtxt,
                    new LogInCallback() {
                        public void done(ParseUser user, ParseException e) {
                                // If user exist and authenticated, send user to Welcome.class
                            if(user !=null){   
                            mProgress.dismiss(); 
                            Intent intent = new Intent(
                                        LoginActivity.this,
                                        AddUserPage.class);
                                startActivity(intent);
                                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                                        "Successfully Logged in",
                                        Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                                finish();
                        }else{
                            mProgress.dismiss();
                            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "No such user", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                            username.setText("");
                            password.setText("");
                        }}
                    });
        }
    });

Solution 2

Add a ProgressBar to your xml layout like this(make sure this is on the top of all other views so that it occupies all other views when its visible.

<ProgressBar
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:id="@+id/loadingProgress"
  android:indeterminate="true"
  android:visibility="false"/>

Then get the view reference inside the onCreate

ProgressBar pb =  findViewById(R.id.loadingProgress);

On public void onClick(View arg0) for loginbutton set the visibility to true for pb like pb.setVisibility(View.Visible)

In LogInCallback() in else part add pb.setVisiblity(View.Gone)
