If i understand correctly, you're showing it and closing it in the same thread and in the same method... That seem wrong to me in event driven development.
I would have a piloting thread (like the one which instantiate your activity) that launch your long process IN ANOTHER THREAD, and create the progress dialog to call its show method (the progress dialog will also have its own thread but that's not your concern) and that's all for your doStuff() method. Things are then executed asynchronously. (which is why you have a progress bar...) Then at the end of the processing thread, you dismiss the progress dialog.
