You can try this code for adding progressBar programaticlly to your layout.

RelativeLayout layout = new RelativeLayout(this);
ProgressBar progressBar = new ProgressBar(YourActivity.this,null,android.R.attr.progressBarStyleLarge);
progressBar.setIndeterminate(true);
progressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(100,100);
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_IN_PARENT);
layout.addView(progressBar,params);

setContentView(layout);
