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

I use the same technique for show user "data is update" visual sign. A result user bring app from background and feeds/lists will be update with UI like users pull tables to refresh himself. My version contain 3 things

1) Who send "wake up"

- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application {
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:kNotificationHaveToResetAllPages object:nil];
}

2) Observer in UIViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(forceUpdateData) name:kNotificationHaveToWakeUp:nil];
}

3)The protocol

#pragma mark - ForcedDataUpdateProtocol

- (void)forceUpdateData {
    self.tableView.contentOffset = CGPointZero;

    if (self.refreshControl) {
        [self.refreshControl beginRefreshing];
        [self.tableView setContentOffset:CGPointMake(0, -self.refreshControl.frame.size.height) animated:YES];
        [self.refreshControl performSelector:@selector(endRefreshing) withObject:nil afterDelay:1];
    }
}
