Android Question ProgressDialog not displaying

[Declan]

I am calling a sub with:

Sub btnContactsList_Click
    ProgressDialogShow("Creating Contacts List")
    CallSubDelayed(Me,"GetContactList")
End Sub

In sub GetContactList I am creating a List of all the phone contacts and writting this into a SQLite table.
All is great, BUT the ProgressDialog is only displayed after the sub GetContactList is finished.
What am I doing incorrectly that the ProgressDialog is not display when btnContactsList is Clicked?

Try instead of showing progressdialog.. change the text of the button to " creating contact list", see if it will update the activity before generating the list

Yes that works.
I do:

Sub btnContactsList_Click
'    ProgressDialogShow("Creating Contacts List")
    btnContactsList.Text = "Creating Contacts List"
    CallSubDelayed(Me,"GetContactList")
End Sub

Then in last line of sub GetContactList I do:

btnContactsBackup.Text = "Contacts List"
