When I scroll and when the list empty I want to show empty list widget but in my case as soon as I get empty result it shows the empty widget but whole list become diappear. Or Emplty list widget replace the listview. Please help me to fix it.

class ReportVideoVerification extends StatefulWidget {
  final AdminUserDetails userDetails;
  final String title;

  const ReportVideoVerification({Key key, this.title, this.userDetails}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  _ReportVideoVerificationState createState() => _ReportVideoVerificationState();
}

class _ReportVideoVerificationState extends State<ReportVideoVerification> {
  TextEditingController fromDateController = TextEditingController();
  TextEditingController toDateController = TextEditingController();
  TextEditingController textController = TextEditingController();

  String fromDate = "",
      toDate = "";
  int limit = Consts.limit;
  static int page = 0; //offset
  ScrollController _sc = new ScrollController();
  bool isLoading = false;

  List<VideoVerificationReportResult> _vvList = new List();
  List<VideoVerificationReportResult> _filteredVvList;
  Future<VideoVerificationReport> _videoVerificationReportResponse;

  @override
  void initState() {
    print('init');
    
    resetFilter();
    super.initState();
    _sc.addListener(() {
      if (_sc.position.pixels == _sc.position.maxScrollExtent) {
        getVideoReportData(page);
      }
    });
  }
  @override
  void dispose() {
    print('disposes');
    page = 0;
    _sc.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }

My empty Widget :

 Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
      padding: EdgeInsets.only(top: 30),
      child: Card(
        child: ListTile(
          title: Column(
            children: <Widget>[
              Icon(
                Icons.tag_faces,
                color: Theme.of(context).primaryColor,
                size: 35.0,
              ),
              SizedBox(
                height: 5.0,
              ),
              Text(
                "No Record Found",
                textAlign: TextAlign.center,
                style: TextStyle(fontSize: 18.0, color: Colors.black87),
              ),
            ],
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }

You can remove the length != 0 condition from this part like so

if (snapshot.data.result != null) {
  return _buildList();
} else { 
  return EmptyListWidget();
}

And instead handle it in _buildList() like so

int itemCount = _filteredVvList != null
        ? _filteredVvList.length
        : _vvList.length != 0 ? _vvList.length + 1 : 0;

To say so when there is no more data, you can have a bool like so

bool noMoreData = false;

and change it to true here

if (response.result != null) {
  if (response.result.length > 0)
    _vvList.addAll(result);
  else
    noMoreData = true;
}

and use it in buildList() like so

if (index == _vvList.length) {
  return noMoreData ? EmptyListWidget() : _buildProgressIndicator();
}
