Android SwipeRefreshLayout with empty TextView not working properly -

what want , allow user swipe , refresh list, not matter if data there or not. when data there in listview listview should visible, , when data not there , empty textview should visible. in both cases user must able refresh list swipe.

i tried solution given here in discussion none of them sounds working, idea of taking 2 swipetorefresh works fine given here, shows empty container while fetching data server.

i tried own logic wrapping listview , textview inside relative/framelayout swipetorefresh accepts 1 view per behavior

here xml snippet have tried

 <android.support.v4.widget.swiperefreshlayout         android:id="@+id/activity_main_swipe_refresh_layout"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="0dp"         android:layout_weight="0.945" >           <relativelayout             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="match_parent" >              <listview                 android:id="@+id/event_list_eventlist"                 android:layout_width="match_parent"                 android:layout_height="match_parent"                 android:divider="@color/event_background"                 android:dividerheight="1dp" >             </listview>              <textview                 android:id="@+id/event_txt_nothing_found"                 android:layout_width="wrap_content"                 android:layout_height="wrap_content"                 android:layout_centerhorizontal="true"                 android:layout_centerinparent="true"                 android:layout_centervertical="true"                 android:textappearance="?android:attr/textappearancemedium"                 android:textcolor="@android:color/darker_gray"                 android:visibility="gone" />         </relativelayout>     </android.support.v4.widget.swiperefreshlayout> 

please help

i solved same problem using framelayout, @ below code:

<framelayout     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent">      <android.support.v4.widget.swiperefreshlayout         android:id="@+id/layout_swipe_refresh"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content">          <listview             android:id="@+id/lv_products"             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="wrap_content"             android:divider="@null" />      </android.support.v4.widget.swiperefreshlayout>      <textview         android:id="@+id/tv_no_product"         style="@android:style/textappearance.medium"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_gravity="center"         android:layout_margin="10dp"         android:gravity="center"         android:text="@string/msg_no_listing"         android:textcolor="@color/primary_green"         android:visibility="gone" /> </framelayout> 

you use relativelayout well, key placing listview inside swiperefreshlayout, , textview outside.
