Empty View does not seem to work properly. about mjolnirrecyclerview HOT 4 CLOSED

@gr3ger thanks for the report, will investigate!

@gr3ger Does your EmptyView has visibility set to GONE or INVISIBLE by default? If this is the case, empty view is not shown as we are only updating the visibility if the adapter is set to the RecyclerView. We can fix this with providing an extra method, with which you could declare do you want to show the empty view while adapter is not set.

For the expected behaviour, I don't agree that we should also show the header and footer views if there are no items in the adapter. We are trying to mimic the ListView's empty view behaviour, which shows only empty view in that case (header and footer are hidden).

Not at my work computer as of right now, so I can't double check. But I'll see if I can reliably replicate the issue (and check an extra time for visibility) and get back to you on that. It might even be some weird layout params thats the underlying problem.

And as for the empty view only with the header gone, you might be right. Although it would be quite a nice feature to have if you imagine like a Facebook post without any comments, where the post itself is the header and the items are comments. In that scenario you would like to have the header persistent while the empty view is still visible.

But as I said, I'll double check everything and get back to you.
