Android Support V4 Swiperefreshlayout Empty View Issue

November 10, 2024 Post a Comment

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?

Solution 1:

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

<FrameLayout...><android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout...><ListViewandroid:id="@android:id/list"... /></android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout><TextViewandroid: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.

Solution 2:

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.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayoutxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:id="@+id/Refresher"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"><LinearLayoutandroid:orientation="vertical"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"><ListViewandroid:id="@android:id/list"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"android:divider="@null" /><ScrollViewandroid:id="@android:id/empty"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"><TextViewandroid:text="Geen formulieren gevonden"style="@style/text.EmptyView" /></ScrollView></LinearLayout></android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>

Hope this helps you. If so, don't forget to accept the answer.

Note: this is a duplicate of my answer to this question, but that question is pretty much a duplicate of this question... :)

UPDATE If the SwipeRefreshLayout is activated too early, you can implement ListView.OnScroll with:

_refresher.Enabled = e.FirstVisibleItem == 0;

This disables the refresher until you scrolled to the top. This is only needed when using a ListView, the new RecyclerView works as expected.

Solution 3:

The problem for me was that when the empty view was visible then the refreshing circle wasn't shown although the refreshing method worked. For me this code worked, I hope it helps.

the xml layout:

<FrameLayoutandroid:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:clickable="true"><ListViewandroid:id="@+id/listView"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:fadingEdge="none"android:footerDividersEnabled="false"android:headerDividersEnabled="false"/><ScrollViewandroid:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:layout_gravity="center"android:gravity="center"><TextViewandroid:id="@+id/empty_view"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:layout_gravity="center"android:gravity="center"android:visibility="gone"/></ScrollView></FrameLayout>

the custom SwipeRefreshLayout:

package misc;

import android.content.Context;
import android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout;
import android.widget.ListView;

publicclassCustomSwipeRefreshLayoutextendsSwipeRefreshLayout {
    private ListView mListView;

    publicCustomSwipeRefreshLayout(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    publicvoidsetListView(ListView listView) {
        mListView = listView;
    }

    @OverridepublicbooleancanChildScrollUp() {
        if (mListView == null) {
            returntrue;
        }

        return mListView.canScrollVertically(-1);
    }
}

and in my Fragment where I use the layout I only set the swipe to refresh layout in this way:
```
mSwipeRefreshLayout.setListView(mListView);
```

the ListView's empty view is set in this way:

TextViewemptyView= (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.empty_view);
emptyView.setText("No data");
mListView.setEmptyView(emptyView);

I hope it helps.

Solution 4:

here's how i did this (probably not very elegant solution)

privatevoidcreateEmptyView() {
    ViewGroupparent= (ViewGroup) listView.getParent();
    emptyView = (TextView) getLayoutInflater(null)
            .inflate(R.layout.view_empty, parent, false);
    parent.addView(emptyView);
    listView.setEmptyView(emptyView);
}

publicclassFrameSwipeRefreshLayoutextendsSwipeRefreshLayout {

    private ViewGroup listView;
    publicvoidsetListView(ViewGroup list) {
        listView = list;
    }

    @OverridepublicbooleancanChildScrollUp() {
        if (listView != null) {
            Viewchild= listView.getChildAt(0);
            return child != null && child.getTop() != 0;
        }
        returnsuper.canChildScrollUp();
    }
}

empty layout

<TextViewxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"android:gravity="center_horizontal"android:clickable="true" />

list layout

<FrameSwipeRefreshLayoutxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"><FrameLayoutandroid:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"
            ><ListViewandroid:id="@android:id/list"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"
            /></FrameLayout></FrameSwipeRefreshLayout>
