Reproducible Demo

import React from 'react';
import { SectionList, Text, View, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';

const EmptyComponent = ({ title }) => (
  <View style={styles.emptyContainer}>
    <Text style={styles.emptyText}>{title}</Text>
  </View>
);

const App = () => (
  <View style={styles.app}>
    <SectionList
      keyExtractor
      renderItem={({ item }) => <Text>{item.name}</Text>}
      sections={[]}
      ListEmptyComponent={
        <EmptyComponent title="Nothing here, come back later.." />
      }
    />
  </View>
);

const styles = StyleSheet.create({

  emptyContainer: {
    flex: 1,
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
  emptyText: {
    fontSize: 30,
