UIRefreshControl - beginRefreshing not working when UITableViewController is inside UINavigationController

Question

I\'ve setup a UIRefreshControl in my UITableViewController (which is inside a UINavigationController) and it works as expected (i.e. pull down fires the correct event). Howe

Answer 1

The already mentioned approach:

[self.refreshControl beginRefreshing];
 [self.tableView setContentOffset:CGPointMake(0, self.tableView.contentOffset.y-self.refreshControl.frame.size.height) animated:YES];

would make the spinner visible. But it wouldn't animate. The one thing I changed is the order of these two methods and everything worked:

[self.tableView setContentOffset:CGPointMake(0, self.tableView.contentOffset.y-self.refreshControl.frame.size.height) animated:YES];
[self.refreshControl beginRefreshing];
