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 have fixed this:
Created layout layout_recyclerview_with_emptytext.xml file.
Created EmptyViewRecyclerView.java
---------

EmptyViewRecyclerView emptyRecyclerView = (EmptyViewRecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.emptyRecyclerViewLayout);
emptyRecyclerView.addAdapter(mPrayerCollectionRecyclerViewAdapter, "There is no prayer for selected category.");

layout_recyclerview_with_emptytext.xml file

EmptyViewRecyclerView.java

public class EmptyViewRecyclerView extends ViewSwitcher {
private RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
private CustomFontTextView mRecyclerViewExptyTextView;

public EmptyViewRecyclerView(Context context) {
    super(context);
    initView(context);
}

public EmptyViewRecyclerView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
    initView(context);
}


private void initView(Context context) {
    LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.layout_recyclerview_with_emptytext, this, true);
    mRecyclerViewExptyTextView = (CustomFontTextView) findViewById(R.id.recyclerViewEmptyTextView);
    mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recyclerView);
    mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(context));
}

public void addAdapter(final RecyclerView.Adapter adapter) {
    mRecyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
    adapter.registerAdapterDataObserver(new RecyclerView.AdapterDataObserver() {
        @Override
        public void onChanged() {
            super.onChanged();
            if(adapter.getItemCount() > 0) {
                if (R.id.recyclerView == getNextView().getId()) {
                    showNext();
                }
            } else {
                if (R.id.recyclerViewEmptyTextView == getNextView().getId()) {
                    showNext();
                }
            }
        }
    });
}

public void addAdapter(final RecyclerView.Adapter adapter, String emptyTextMsg) {
    addAdapter(adapter);
    setEmptyText(emptyTextMsg);
}

public RecyclerView getRecyclerView() {
    return mRecyclerView;
}

public void setEmptyText(String emptyTextMsg) {
    mRecyclerViewExptyTextView.setText(emptyTextMsg);
}

}
