How to show loading message while fetching data from Firebase Database?

Question

I'm using Firebase to display data into a textview. I use an asynctask to load data in the background, while loading, I want to show a loading message before the data loads into my textview.

But my loading data popup is not showing.(i.e doinBackground method finish it works immediately) and the user sees empty textviews and only after sometime that Firebase data loads.

How to prevent this and show process dialog until my textview get loaded with Firebase data?

here is my code
<pre>
<code>
public class LastPage extends AppCompatActivity {
    TextView title, author, article;
    DatabaseReference mDatabase;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_last_page);


        title = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.last_page_title);
        author = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.last_page_author);
        article = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.last_page_article);

        mDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference();

        new LoadFirebaseData().execute();


    }

    private class LoadFirebaseData extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Integer>
    {
        private ProgressDialog Dialog = new ProgressDialog(LastPage.this);

        @Override
        protected void onPreExecute()
        {
            try {
                Dialog.setMessage("Doing something...");
                Dialog.show();
            }catch (Exception e)
            {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(Integer result)
        {

            if(result==0)
            {
                //do some thing
            }
            // after completed finished the progressbar
            Dialog.dismiss();
        }

        @Override
        protected Integer doInBackground(Void... params) {

            mDatabase.child("version_1_5").child("title").addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
                @Override
                public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
                    String temp = dataSnapshot.getValue(String.class);
                    title.setText(temp);
                }

                @Override
                public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {

                }
            });

            mDatabase.child("version_1_5").child("author").addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
                @Override
                public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
                    String temp = dataSnapshot.getValue(String.class);
                    author.setText(temp);
                }

                @Override
                public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {

                }
            });

            mDatabase.child("version_1_5").child("article").addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
                @Override
                public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
                    String temp = dataSnapshot.getValue(String.class);
                    article.setText(temp);
                }

                @Override
                public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {

                }
            });

            return 0;
        }


    }
}

you should use addListenerForSingleValueEvent to fetch the data from the node once not for the every single node

private ProgressDialog Dialog = new ProgressDialog(LastPage.this);
Dialog.setMessage("Doing something...");
Dialog.show();
mDatabase.child("version_1_5").addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
    @Override
    public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
        for (DataSnapshot Snapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
            if(Snapshot.getKey().toString().equalsIgnoreCase("Title")){
                String temp = dataSnapshot.getValue(String.class);
                title.setText(temp);
            }
            else if(Snapshot.getKey().toString().equalsIgnoreCase("Author")){
                String temp = dataSnapshot.getValue(String.class);
                author.setText(temp);
            }
            else if(Snapshot.getKey().toString().equalsIgnoreCase("Article")){
                 String temp = dataSnapshot.getValue(String.class);
                article.setText(temp);
            }
        }
        Dialog.hide();
    }

    @Override
    public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {

    }
});
