SwipeRefreshLayout can host only one direct child
android, setcontentview, xml
Solution
`SwipeRefreshLayout` should be the parent in the XML file.
You can use a `FrameLayout` as the child of `SwipeRefreshLayout`. The `ListView` and `TextView` (or any other empty state view) can be child views of the `FrameLayout`.
Problem
I added a "pull to refresh" to my listView, i also wanted to add an empty view when the list is empty - Now i got this error. How can i make this work? if im positioning a view outside of the swipeRefresh and then add it as the emptyView it will work. So how do i so it with an outer xml file .. ? The xml code: ``` <android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout android:id="@+id/swipeRefreshLayout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" > <ListView android:id="@android:id/list" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:clipToPadding="false" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/inbox_vertical_margin" ></ListView> </android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout> ``` onCreateView: ``` View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_inbox, container, false); View empty = inflater.inflate(R.layout.empty_message_list, container, false); ListView mListView = (ListView) rootView .findViewById(android.R.id.list); ((ViewGroup) mListView.getParent()).addView(empty); TextView textViewToChange = (TextView) empty .findViewById(R.id.welcomeMessage); textViewToChange.setText("YO " + ParseUser.getCurrentUser().getString( ParseConstants.KEY_PRESENTING_USERNAME) + "! bad news.. :("); mListView.setEmptyView(empty); mSwipeRefreshLayout = (SwipeRefreshLayout) rootView .findViewById(R.id.swipeRefreshLayout); mSwipeRefreshLayout.setOnRefreshListener(mOnRefreshListener); mSwipeRefreshLayout.setColorScheme(R.color.swipeRefresh1, R.color.swipeRefresh2, R.color.swipeRefresh3, R.color.swipeRefresh4); return rootView; ```
