UIRefreshControl on UICollectionView only works if the collection fills the height of the container

Question

I\'m trying to add a UIRefreshControl to a UICollectionView, but the problem is that the refresh control does not appear unless the collection view

Answer 1

Larry's answer in swift:

    let refreshControl = UIRefreshControl()
    refreshControl.tintColor = UIColor.blueColor()
    refreshControl.addTarget(self, action: "refresh", forControlEvents: .ValueChanged)
    collectionView.addSubview(refreshControl)
    collectionView.alwaysBounceVertical = true

Swift 3:

    let refreshControl = UIRefreshControl()
    refreshControl.tintColor = .blue
    refreshControl.addTarget(self, action: #selector(refresh), for: .valueChanged)
    collectionView.addSubview(refreshControl)
    collectionView.alwaysBounceVertical = true
