Android addHeaderView disappears when no items in ListView

I am using addHeaderView to add a view item to the top of a ListView. I also have a TextView to display a message saying there are no items in the list.

Here is the layout:

<ListView android:id="@android:id/list"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>          

<TextView
    android:id="@android:id/empty"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:text="@string/list_empty"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />

And the Java code:

final ListView listView = getListView();
final View view = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.list_item_add,
            listView, false);
listView.开发者_StackOverflow中文版addHeaderView(view, null, true);

When there are items in the ListView then the header is shown but if I delete all items in the list (except the header view) then the header view disappears.

I would like the header view to be visible in the list view whether there are items in the list or not.

Thanks,

Remove the @android:id/empty view from your layout, or override/subclass your adapter to return false from isEmpty()

From my experience (SDK version 10):

Overriding isEmpty() in the adapter makes it work.

Then, it is optional to remove the @android:id/empty view.
