Issue using setEmptyView on a ListActivity

I have the following setup, and the empty view text doesn't show up... ``` protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); getListView().setEmptyView(findViewById(R.id.empty)); getListView().setTextFilterEnabled(true); setListAdapter(null);// to have empty list } ``` The layout file is: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/myScrollLayout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <FrameLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dip" android:layout_weight="1"> <ListView android:id="@android:id/list" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:drawSelectorOnTop="false" /> <!-- Here is the view to show if the list is emtpy --> <ScrollView android:id="@android:id/empty" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <TextView android:id="@+id/emptyText" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:text="@string/contact_empty_help" android:textSize="20sp" android:textColor="?android:attr/textColorSecondary" android:paddingLeft="10dip" android:paddingRight="10dip" android:paddingTop="10dip" android:lineSpacingMultiplier="0.92" /> </ScrollView> </FrameLayout> </LinearLayout> ``` String is defined as: ``` <string name="contact_empty_help">"You don't have any contacts to display.\n\nTo add contacts, you have to:\n \n<li><font fgcolor="#ffffffff">Go to <b>Contacts</b></font> application to create new contacts\n</li> \n<li><font fgcolor="#ffffffff"><b>Import from VCF file</b></font>, this is available in Contacts menu, the file most be on the root of the SD card\n</li>" </string> ``` Since the list is empty, it should show me the text defined. I followed the example from the List8 https://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/view/List8.html https://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/res/layout/list_8.xml
