setEmptyView on ListView not showing its view in a android app?

Question

I have a problem with the setEmptyView method from a ListView.

Here is my Java code:

ListView view = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.listView1);
view.se         


        

Answer 1

Your TextView should be placed right under the ListView item with its visibility set to gone (android:visibility="gone"), do not place it in another layout. This is how your main layout would look like

And this is how your code might look like

ListView view = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.listViewFangbuch);
view.setEmptyView(findViewById(R.id.empty_list_item));

ArrayAdapter adapter1 = new ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, 
        android.R.id.text1, MainController.getInstanz().getItems());
view.setAdapter(adapter1);
