Prefer Large Titles and RefreshControl not working well

Question

I am using this tutorial to implement a pull-to-refresh behavior with the RefreshControl. I am using a Navigation Bar. When using normal titles eve

Answer 1

I'm having the same problem, and none of the other answers worked for me.

I realised that changing the table view top constraint from the safe area to the superview fixed that strange spinning bug.

Also, make sure the constant value for this constraint is 0

Answer 2

The only solution that worked for me using XIBs was Bruno's one: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54629641/2178888

However I did not want to use a XIB. I struggled a lot trying to make this work by code using AutoLayout.

I finally found a solution that works:

    override func loadView() {
        super.loadView()
        let tableView = UITableView()
        //configure tableView
        self.view = tableView
    }

Answer 3

Problem can be solved if add tableview or scroll view as root view in UIViewController hierarchy (like in UITableViewController)

override func loadView() {
    view = customView
}

where customView is UITableView or UICollectionView

Answer 4

At the end what worked for me was:

• In order to fix the RefreshControl progress bar disappearing bug with large titles:

  self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = true
  

• In order to fix the list offset after refreshcontrol.endRefreshing():

  let top = self.tableView.adjustedContentInset.top
  let y = self.refreshControl!.frame.maxY + top
  self.tableView.setContentOffset(CGPoint(x: 0, y: -y), animated:true)
  

Answer 5

I've faced the same problem. Call refreshControl endRefreshing before calling further API.

refreshControl.addTarget(controller, action: #selector(refreshData(_:)), for: .valueChanged)

@objc func refreshData(_ refreshControl: UIRefreshControl) {
        refreshControl.endRefreshing()
        self.model.loadAPICall {
            self.tableView.reloadData()
        }
    }
