Answer 1

I had this issue too, and solved it without any additional code in the activity by using the layout below.

If you are using a ListActivity or ListFragment it handles showing/hiding the empty view for you, and refreshing works with an empty list as well with this layout structure.

No hacks needed, everything is in the SwipeRefreshLayout, as it should be.

Hope it helps anyone struggling with this issue.
