Equivalent of ListView.setEmptyView in RecyclerView

Question

In RecyclerView, I want to set an empty view to be shown when the adapter is empty. Is there an equivalent of ListView.setEmptyView()?

Answer 1

I would prefer to implement this functionality in Recycler.Adapter

On your overridden getItemCount method, inject empty check codes there:

@Override
public int getItemCount() {
    if(data.size() == 0) listIsEmtpy();
    return data.size();
}
