Android support v4 SwipeRefreshLayout empty view issue

Question

SwipeRefresh is not working after setting an empty view for listview which is the only child of a SwipeRefresh layout. How to solve this issue?

Answer 1

Here is the solution: You can simply use this view hierarchy :

    <FrameLayout ...>

        <android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout ...>

            <ListView
                android:id="@android:id/list" ... />
        </android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>

        <TextView
            android:id="@android:id/empty" ...
            android:text="@string/empty_list"/>
    </FrameLayout>

Then, in code, you just call:

_listView.setEmptyView(findViewById(android.R.id.empty));

That's it.
