Showing Empty View When Listview Is Empty

Showing empty view when ListView is empty

It should be like this:

<TextView android:id="@android:id/empty"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:text="No Results" />

Note the id attribute.

empty view not display in listview

try this

View  emptyV = getActivity().getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.empty_view, null);
                    TextView tvMSG = (TextView) emptyV.findViewById(R.id.tvMSG);
                    tvMSG.setText("No product available.");
                    ViewGroup viewGroup= (ViewGroup) listView.getParent();                  
                    viewGroup.addView(emptyV, new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
                            ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT)); 
                    listView.setEmptyView(emptyV);  

show something when listview is empty

I want you to check this post setEmptyView on ListView not showing its view in a android app, it should solve your empty view issue.
And if you want to prevent the app from throwing an IndexOutOfBoundsException, you can simply check the size of your dataModels array before setting up your adapter.

if (dataModels.size() > 0)
{
    //Setup our adapter here
}

Hope this helps :)

setEmptyView is not displaying image when listView is empty

public class FenceActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    List<Fence> fenceList;
    SQLiteDatabase sqLiteDatabase;
    ListView listViewFences;
    FenceAdapter fenceAdapter;
    DataBaseHelper dataBaseHelper;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.savedfences);

        listViewFences = findViewById(R.id.fencesListView);
        fenceList = new ArrayList<>();

        showFencesFromDatabase();
    }

    public void showFencesFromDatabase() {

        dataBaseHelper = new DataBaseHelper(this);
        Cursor cursor = dataBaseHelper.getAllData();
        if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
            do {
                fenceList.add(new Fence(cursor.getInt(0), cursor.getDouble(1), cursor.getDouble(2), cursor.getInt(3)));
            } while (cursor.moveToNext());
        }
        cursor.close();
        fenceAdapter = new FenceAdapter(FenceActivity.this, R.layout.list_layout_fences, fenceList);
        listViewFences.setAdapter(fenceAdapter);

        listViewFences.setEmptyView(findViewById(R.id.emptyElement));
    }

    public void reloadFencesFromDatabase() {
        dataBaseHelper = new DataBaseHelper(this);
        Cursor cursor = dataBaseHelper.getAllData();
        fenceList.clear();
        if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
            do {
                fenceList.add(new Fence(cursor.getInt(0), cursor.getDouble(1), cursor.getDouble(2), cursor.getInt(3)));
            } while (cursor.moveToNext());
        }
        cursor.close();
        fenceAdapter = new FenceAdapter(FenceActivity.this, R.layout.list_layout_fences, fenceList);
        listViewFences.setAdapter(fenceAdapter);
        listViewFences.setEmptyView(findViewById(R.id.emptyElement));
    }
}

Instead of listViewFences.setEmptyView(findViewById(R.id.emptyElement)); add this

listViewFences.setVisibility(fenceList.size>0?View.VISIBLE:View.GONE);
emptyElement.setVisibility(fenceList.size>0?View.GONE:View.VISIBLE);

Also define the emptyElement view in the activity.

emptyView not being replaced by listView

try this

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<ListView
    android:id="@+id/listView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
</ListView>
<TextView
    android:id="@+id/no_requests_textView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:visibility="gone"
    android:text="no request" >
</TextView>

TextView emptyView = findViewById(R.id.no_requests_textView);
if(requestDetailsArrayList.size()==0)

{
    emptyView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    ListView.setVisibility(View.GONE)
}

else

{
    emptyView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    ListView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE)
}

Android displaying text when ListView is empty

I'm guessing you are using a regular Fragment or Activity with a ListView inside of it. If you are, you must add the empty layout to the ListView manually.

E.g.

ListView lv = (ListView)findViewById(android.R.id.list);
TextView emptyText = (TextView)findViewById(android.R.id.empty);
lv.setEmptyView(emptyText);

Then your ListView will automatically use this view when its adapter is empty

If you are using a ListActivity you do not need to call setEmptyView() on the ListView since the ListActivity automatically manages that for you.

Custom empty view in ListView android

Change your xml like below:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <FrameLayout 
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:id="@+id/emptyView">
        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:textColor="@android:color/white"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textSize="20sp"
            android:text="Click Refresh to load data"/>
       <Button 
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/btn_retry"
            android:textColor="@android:color/white"
            android:background="@drawable/orange_button_selecter"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:textSize="25sp"
            android:text="@string/retry"/>
    </FrameLayout>
<ListView 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:dividerHeight="2dp"
    android:id="@+id/list_foods"/>
</RelativeLayout>

put that lines in java

    View empty = findViewById(R.id.emptyView);
    btn_retry=(Button)empty.findViewById(R.id.btn_retry);
    listView.setEmptyView(empty);

Now you can write onClickListener() in same Activity as it belongs with same xml layout.

btn_retry.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                //Do the refresh thing or verify with Toast.
            }
        });

Here, If the listview is an empty it will show button refresh. Otherwise it will display the filled list.

How i can display a message when listview is empty

        ListView lv;
        ArrayList < String > FilesInFolder = GetFiles(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + "foldername" + "/" + "file.txt");
        lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lit_view);

        // This will do the needful 

        if (FilesInFolder == null || FilesInFolder.isEmpty()) {
            lv.setVisibility(View.GONE)
            Toast.makeText(this, "Their is nothing to view", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
            // Add another textView in xml and make it visible
        } else
            lv.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter < String > (this,
                android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, FilesInFolder));
            lv.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView << ? > parent, View v, int position, long id) {

                Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), pdfviewer.class);
                intent.putExtra("FileName", (String) parent.getItemAtPosition(position));
                startActivity(intent);
                finish();
            }
        });
    }
