How to customize UIRefreshControl to make pull-down-height lower than default - ios

Question

In UIRefreshControl in iOS App, I think the default setting is that when I pull down UITableView(UISrollView) by about "100px", refresh begins.
I would like to make the above value smaller.(for example, "50px")
Is this possible?
If possible, please tell me sample codes.

Answer 1

Try this:
// definition
extension UIRefreshControl {
func refreshManually() {
beginRefreshing()
sendActions(for: .valueChanged)
}
}
// usage
var isRefreshingManually = false
func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
if scrollView.contentOffset.y < -80.0 {
if !isRefreshingManually && !refreshControl.isRefreshing {
isRefreshingManually = true
refreshControl.refreshManually()
}
} else if scrollView.contentOffset.y >= 0 {
isRefreshingManually = false
}
}
My sample code is for UICollectionView, but UITableView & UIScollView work well, too.
Replace "-80.0" in my code to threshould value you want.

you can make it right with some modification
lazy var refreshControl: UIRefreshControl = {
let refreshControl = UIRefreshControl()
refreshControl.tintColor = UIColor.red
return refreshControl
}()
//refreshControl.addTarget(self, action: #selector(handleRefresh), for: .valueChanged)
every PullToRefresh must have couple lines of code like this, that handleRefresh function, do whatever you need to refresh the page.
you just need to comment out addTarget line and add this function to your code
```
func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
if scrollView.contentOffset.y < -80 { //change 80 to whatever you want
if !self.refreshControl.isRefreshing {
handleRefresh()
}
}
}

You can try this method. When UIRefreshControl is added before UITableView(UIScrollView) is appear , the height of the view may be bigger than the actually height the view display on screen , so the UIRefreshControl pull to refresh range is bigger than actual
let ori = tableView.frame
let temp_frame = CGRect.init(x: ori.origin.x, y: ori.origin.y, width:
ori.size.width, height: ori.size.height/1.3 )
tableView.frame = temp_frame
tableView.addSubview(UIRefreshControl())
tableView.frame = ori
This code modified the height of view before adding refreshControl , you can adjust the height based on your preference.
