How to add a "plus" button on top of emptyView in ListView

Question

I'd like to add a Button like this one below into my ListView when the list is empty using the setEmptyView() method.

Is there a built-in style in Android for this? Because I noticed that a few apps are using exactly the same Button style.

That is a custom button, standard interface does not provide that style. — , Aug 03 '11 at 15:43

Look at this link: Add Items to ListView - Android

It shows the correct Android resource to use, which shows a green "+" symbol on the ImageButton.

To be precise:

<ImageButton
    android:id="@+id/moreImageButton"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"

    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"

    android:contentDescription="@string/image_button_delete"
    android:src="@android:drawable/ic_input_add" />

Short answer: No, this is not a standard Button.

However, you can add a similar Button by using an ImageView. You just have to design/download something you like.
