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

Add an extension for UIResfreshControl.

extension UIRefreshControl {
    func beginRefreshingManually() {
        self.tintColor = UIColor.white
        if let scrollView = superview as? UIScrollView {
            scrollView.setContentOffset(CGPoint(x: 0, y:scrollView.contentOffset.y - frame.height), animated: false)
        }
        beginRefreshing()
    }
}
