Answer 1

Try something like this. Create 2 views. First view is a TextView with the empty list message . Keep this TextView hidden initially (Visibility GONE). Second view is your Listview. Keep it visible. IN your onCreate or any appropriate method is activity or Fragment when you find that there is no data for List then make your ListView hidden and TextView visible.
