iOS 7 UIRefreshControl tintColor not working for beginRefreshing

Question

I\'m trying to set a tintColor on my UIRefreshControl (building on iOS 7). I enabled refreshing for the tableViewController in storyboard, then in my ViewController vi

Answer 1

Hey just stumbled into this exact issue.

Interestingly I fixed my code by setting the contentOffset first then calling beginRefreshing

if(self.tableView.contentOffset.y == 0){
    self.tableView.contentOffset = CGPointMake(0, -self.refreshControl.frame.size.height);
    [self.refreshControl beginRefreshing];
}

You may want to animate this process:

[UIView animateWithDuration:0.25 delay:0 options:UIViewAnimationOptionBeginFromCurrentState animations:^(void){
    self.tableView.contentOffset = CGPointMake(0, -self.refreshControl.frame.size.height);
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
    [self.refreshControl beginRefreshing];
}];

Hope this helps you.
