A library for showing different types of layouts when a list view is empty. These layouts can be shown when,
- the list is loading
- the list has no item to display
- an error occured trying to load items
Loading animation is also supported.
- Import the library project into your workspace.
- Use the imported project as a library for your project.
- In the
onCreate
event of your activity use the following code.
EmptyLayout emptyLayout = new EmptyLayout(this, getListView());
- When you want to show the loading animation, use this code.
emptyLayout.showLoading();
- When you want to show any error, use this code.
emptyLayout.showError();
- When your list doesn't have any item to show, use this code.
emptyLayout.showEmpty();
Thats all you have to do to use this library. You may want to customize its behavior though.

emptyLayout.setLoadingMessage("Please wait...");
