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

For me, none of this answers worked for me. What I had to do was add the empty view manually (inflated) to the "parent" view of the Listview:

ListView my_list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.my_list);
View emptyView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.empty_view,null);
((ViewGroup)my_list.getParent()).addView(emptyView); 
listView.setEmptyView(emptyView);
