UIRefreshControl without UITableViewController

by

On a hunch, and based on DrummerB’s inspiration, I tried simply adding a UIRefreshControl instance as a subview to my UITableView. And it magically just works!

UIRefreshControl *refreshControl = [[UIRefreshControl alloc] init];
[refreshControl addTarget:self action:@selector(handleRefresh:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[self.myTableView addSubview:refreshControl];

This adds a UIRefreshControl above your table view and works as expected without having to use a UITableViewController 🙂

EDIT: This above still works but as a few have pointed out, there is a slight “stutter” when adding the UIRefreshControl in this manner. A solution to that is to instantiate a UITableViewController, and then setting your UIRefreshControl and UITableView to that, i.e.:

UITableViewController *tableViewController = [[UITableViewController alloc] init];
tableViewController.tableView = self.myTableView;

self.refreshControl = [[UIRefreshControl alloc] init];
[self.refreshControl addTarget:self action:@selector(getConnections) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
tableViewController.refreshControl = self.refreshControl;
