I use an UIRefreshControl like it (without an UITableViewController) :
UIRefreshControl *refreshControl = [UIRefreshControl new];
[refreshControl addTarget:self action:@selector(viewDidBeginRefreshing:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[self.table addSubview:refreshControl];
Problem is the refresh wheel is positioned below the UINavigationController's translucent bar (ios7).
There is only a few topic on this problem on StackOverflow. And they didn't bring any valuable solution to me.
What I wish is to make my UIRefreshControl's y position 80px down for example.
Note : I know it's not recommended to use UIRefreshControl outside an UITableViewController. So no need to warn about it.
I found a solution, very simple, not so clean but works like a charm.
Just need to put the refresh control in another subview which is set down.
UIView *refreshView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 80, 0, 0)];
[self.table addSubview:refreshView];
UIRefreshControl *refreshControl = [UIRefreshControl new];
[refreshControl addTarget:self action:@selector(viewDidBeginRefreshing:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[refreshView addSubview:refreshControl];
This is a version of AncAinu's answer in Swift 4.
let refreshView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 80, width: 0, height: 0))
tableView.addSubview(refreshView)
refreshControl = UIRefreshControl()
refreshControl.addTarget(self, action: #selector(self.viewDidBeginRefreshing), for: .valueChanged)
refreshView.addSubview(refreshControl)
Try to add this in the viewDidLoad in your UIViewController
:
if ([self respondsToSelector:@selector(edgesForExtendedLayout)])
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;
