setEmptyView not working on ListView

So I have a ListView in a Fragment on which I run listView.setEmptyView(getActivity().findViewById(R.id.emptyListView));

In my xml file I have 

  <ListView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/listView_main" />

  <TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Nothing here yet! "
    android:id="@+id/emptyListView"
    android:visibility="gone"/>

The ListView works fine when there is data but the TextView does not show up when it is empty. What am I doing wrong here?

I'd verify that the findViewById() returns non-null.

Try .findViewById() on the fragment's root view.
