Android: set empty view to a list view

 <TextView
            android:id="@android:id/empty"
            style="@style/FacebookFont"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:text="@string/no_result_found"
            android:textColor="@color/white" />

this is the xml code for empty view. I am setting empty view as follows:

    list.setAdapter(adapter);
    list.setEmptyView(findViewById(android.R.id.empty));

I have the items in the listview even then also before listview is populated the empty view is shown. I don't want that empty view to be shown when listview contains some item.

Please help.
