Add progress bar to TabHost

I have a TabHost activity and it has three tabs each which loads data from the web and while this data is being loaded I want to display a progress bar in the middle of the screen. I know how do this is this was just a plain old Rel Layout something kinda like this

RelativeLayout layout = new RelativeLayout(this);
    progressBar = new ProgressBar(DiningItemsActivity.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);

But I am having trouble getting it to work with the TabHost I tried doing it in xml but I just got the progress bar in the tab host not in the middle of the screen. Here is what I want it to look like

So how could I do this with the TabHost, either programaticlly or in xml.

Thanks for the help in advance :)
