How yo set listview background like this. I want to appear when the number of record 0
There is special method in ListView
- setEmptyView()
. You can find examples of using it here or here.
Upd: second link is unavailable now. Here is quote from article:
When you set a ListView’s “empty view” programmatically, you can end up scratching your head as to why your empty view actually doesn’t appear when the list is empty.
If this happens, then what you forgot is that you must manually add your empty view to your view hierarchy, cos ListView won’t do it for you. Although it’s obvious when you think about it, the documentation doesn’t mention this detail, and Googling shows at least one person had the problem.Here’s the code with the lines that it’s all too easy to forget at numbers 4 and 5…
TextView emptyView = new TextView(context);
emptyView.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));
emptyView.setText(“This appears when the list is empty”);
emptyView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
((ViewGroup)list.getParent()).addView(emptyView);
list.setEmptyView(emptyView);
Just set a background image at the parent layout and then set the color of the ListView to fully transparent:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
style="@style/Main" android:background="@drawable/background">
<ListView android:cacheColorHint="#00000000" .../>
</LinearLayout>
