Dynamic RecyclerView displays available contacts and search for contacts

Question

Below is the code for onCreateViewHolder() Method. Here i'm checking if list is empty or not.

I've a searchView to search contacts. When there is no contacts with search name then the layout "no_contacts" will be displayed.

But when i press backspace to remove the search string it is throwing Exception:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Inconsistency detected. Invalid view holder adapter positionViewHolder{528a9274 position=12 id=-1, oldPos=0, pLpos:0 scrap [attachedScrap] tmpDetached no parent}

Please help me regarding this problem.

@Override
public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {

    switch(viewType) {
        case VIEW_TYPE_EMPTY_LIST_PLACEHOLDER:
            // return view holder for your placeholder
            View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.no_contacts, parent, false);
            EmptyViewHolder evh = new EmptyViewHolder(v);
            return evh;

        case VIEW_TYPE_OBJECT_VIEW:
            // return view holder for your normal list item
            v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.contacts_row, parent, false);
            ViewHolder vh = new ViewHolder(v);
            return vh;

    }
    return null;
}
