Android: ListAdapter.Currentlist.isEmpty() показывает true, даже если список не пуст

Моя проблема в том, что когда я пишу MyListAdapter.currentList.isEmpty(), значение равно true, хотя список НЕ ПУСТОЙ! (Я вижу это в моем представлении и в моей базе данных). Что я делаю не так, почему значение true, хотя должно быть false?

Фрагмент

@AndroidEntryPoint
class ShoppingCartFragment(
    private val cacheMapper: ShopCacheMapper
) : Fragment(R.layout.fragment_shopping_cart), ShoppingCartListAdapter.OnItemClickListener {
    private val shoppingCartViewModel: ShoppingCartViewModel by viewModels()
    private val shoppingCartBinding: FragmentShoppingCartBinding by viewBinding()
    @Inject lateinit var shoppingCartAdapter: ShoppingCartListAdapter

    override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
        bindObjects()
        observeList()
        hideBtnIfListEmpty()
        toast("LISTE IST EMPTY: ${shoppingCartAdapter.currentList.isEmpty()}")
    }

    private fun observeList() {
        shoppingCartViewModel.productList.observe(viewLifecycleOwner) {
            shoppingCartAdapter.submitList(it)
        }
    }

    private fun bindObjects() = with(shoppingCartBinding) {
        adapter = shoppingCartAdapter.apply { clickHandler(this@ShoppingCartFragment) }
        viewModel = shoppingCartViewModel
        lifecycleOwner = viewLifecycleOwner
    }

    override fun forwardCardClick(productCacheEntity: ProductCacheEntity) {
        val product = cacheMapper.mapFromEntity(productCacheEntity)
        val action = ShoppingCartFragmentDirections.actionShoppingCartFragmentToShopItemFragment(product)
        findNavController().navigate(action)
    }

    override fun fordwardBtnIncreaseClick(id: Int) {
        shoppingCartViewModel.increaseProductQuantityById(id)
    }

    override fun fordwardBtnDecreaseClick(id: Int) {
        shoppingCartViewModel.decreaseProductQuantityById(id)
    }

    override fun forwardBtnDeleteClick(id: Int) {
        shoppingCartViewModel.deleteProductById(id)
    }

    override fun onDestroyView() {
        requireView().findViewById<RecyclerView>(R.id.rv_shopping_cart).adapter = null
        super.onDestroyView()
    }

    // here lies the problem
    private fun hideBtnIfListEmpty() {
        if (shoppingCartAdapter.currentList.isEmpty()) shoppingCartBinding.shoppingCartBtn.root.visibility = View.INVISIBLE
        else if (shoppingCartAdapter.currentList.isNotEmpty()) shoppingCartBinding.shoppingCartBtn.root.visibility = View.VISIBLE
    }

}
