# Overview

You use a RefreshControl with a Titanium.UI.TableView, Titanium.UI.ListView or Titanium.UI.ScrollView object. It provides an alternate method to implement pull to refresh functionality provided by Titanium.UI.TableView.headerPullView and Titanium.UI.ListView.pullView properties.

Use the Titanium.UI.createRefreshControl method to create a RefreshControl.

Important iOS 10+ Note: If you use the RefreshControl inside a Titanium.UI.Window that has the largeTitleEnabled property set to true, you also need to set the extendEdges property to either [Ti.UI.EXTEND_EDGE_TOP] or [Ti.UI.EXTEND_EDGE_ALL] in order to prevent a flickering of the refresh spinner. In Titanium SDK 8+, the extendEdges property will be set to [Ti.UI.EXTEND_EDGE_ALL] by default to match the native behavior.

# Examples

# Basic Pull To Refresh

A basic sample showing the usage of refreshstart event with endRefreshing functionality.

const win = Ti.UI.createWindow();
let counter = 0;
function genData() {
    const data = [];
    for (let i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
        data.push({ properties:{ title: `ROW ${counter + i}` } });
    }
    counter += 3;
    return data;
}
const section = Ti.UI.createListSection();
section.items = genData();
const control = Ti.UI.createRefreshControl({
    tintColor: 'red'
});
const listView = Ti.UI.createListView({
    sections: [section],
    refreshControl: control
});
control.addEventListener('refreshstart', () => {
    Ti.API.info('refreshstart');
    setTimeout(() => {
        Ti.API.debug('Timeout');
        section.appendItems(genData());
        control.endRefreshing();
    }, 2000);
});
win.add(listView);
win.open();

beginRefreshing() → void

Tells the control that a refresh operation was started programmatically.

Call this method when an external event source triggers a programmatic refresh of your table. This method updates the state of the refresh control to reflect the in-progress refresh operation. When the refresh operation ends, be sure to call the endRefreshing method to return the control to its default state. Note: When triggering the refreshing programmatically, the styling is not applied and the refresh control is tinted in the native gray.
