If you mean the data is taking awhile to load and you want the activity to show fast first, then load in the data. Then you should probably load the data in a thread or you can even use the helper class ASyncTask. Call it onCreate() and when it finishes execution, send the result to the list.
You can implement the loading functionality however you want. You could set the lists emptyview property to a progress indicator if you really wanted and then change it after the initial load to a proper empty data message. Or just start with a progress indicator with your listview not visible etc. Many ways, you'll have to do the research.
