Root Cause:
The issue occurs because of Android RecyclerView reusing ViewHolders with previously measured dimensions and not automatically remeasuring them when only the layout size changes, causing the EmptyView to retain its old dimensions instead of adapting to the new available space.
Fix Description:
The fix involves explicitly forcing the EmptyView to remeasure when the RecyclerView dimensions change by detecting width or height updates, locating the corresponding EmptyView ViewHolder, and requesting a layout pass so it is resized to match the new available space. When the ViewHolder isn't immediately available, the layout request is deferred to the next UI loop iteration.
