How do I “hide” a UIRefreshControl?

Question

Occasionally my table view won\'t be connected to a service to refresh, and in that case, I don\'t want the UIRefreshControl to be present.

After I add it in viewDid

Answer 1

There’s a very simple solution you can try: [self.refreshControl removeFromSuperview];

Answer 2

I solved this problem by calling "yourRefreshControl".endEditing() inside the refresh function.

Answer 3

Try this:

[self.refreshControl removeFromSuperview];
self.refreshControl = nil;

Answer 4

An old question, but I was looking for an answer and nothing worked exactly like I wanted.

This is what worked for me:

Swift 4

func createRefreshControl() {
    refreshControl = UIRefreshControl()
    refreshControl?.addTarget(self, action: #selector(self.myTableRefreshFunction), for: UIControlEvents.valueChanged)
    refreshControl?.tintColor = UIColor.white
    refreshControl?.endRefreshing()
}

func removeRefreshControl() {
    refreshControl?.removeTarget(self, action: #selector(self.myTableRefreshFunction), for: UIControlEvents.valueChanged)
    refreshControl = nil
}

I call createRefreshControl() when I want the control created, and removeRefreshControl when I want it removed.

I had to remove the same target I initially added to the refresh control, otherwise it would refresh one time before it was actually removed.

Answer 5

To hide refresh control and avoid warning Just use

Objective C

[self.refreshControl removeFromSuperview];

Swift

self.refreshControl.removeFromSuperview()

Answer 6

[refreshControl setTintColor:[UIColor clearColor]];

also you can do something like this:

- (void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView
{
    if (scrollView.contentOffset.y < 0)
        scrollView.contentOffset = CGPointMake(scrollView.contentOffset.x, 0);
}
