title: Issue using setEmptyView on a ListActivity
body: <p>I have the following setup, and the empty view text doesn't show up...</p>
  
  <pre><code>protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
              getListView().setEmptyView(findViewById(R.id.empty));
      getListView().setTextFilterEnabled(true);
  
      setListAdapter(null);// to have empty list
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The layout file is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;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"&gt;
      &lt;FrameLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
          android:layout_height="0dip" android:layout_weight="1"&gt;
          &lt;ListView android:id="@android:id/list" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:drawSelectorOnTop="false" /&gt;
  
          &lt;!-- Here is the view to show if the list is emtpy --&gt;
          &lt;ScrollView
              android:id="@android:id/empty" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="fill_parent"&gt;
              &lt;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" /&gt;
          &lt;/ScrollView&gt;
      &lt;/FrameLayout&gt;
  &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>String is defined as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;string name="contact_empty_help"&gt;"You don't have any contacts to display.\n\nTo add contacts, you have to:\n
          \n&lt;li&gt;&lt;font fgcolor="#ffffffff"&gt;Go to &lt;b&gt;Contacts&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; application to create new contacts\n&lt;/li&gt;
          \n&lt;li&gt;&lt;font fgcolor="#ffffffff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Import from VCF file&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;, this is available in Contacts menu, the file most be on the root of the SD card\n&lt;/li&gt;"
          &lt;/string&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Since the list is empty, it should show me the text defined. I followed the example from the List8  </p>
