PullToRefreshLayout for Xamarin.Forms

Update October 2019

This library will soon be deprecated by the official RefreshView as part of Xamarin.Forms 4.3. No further work will be done on this library.

Implementation of pull to refresh layout for Xamarin.Forms targeting iOS and Android.

The goal was to create a cross-platform Xamarin.Forms Layout that could have it’s content set to anything and would enable pull to refresh capabilities.

A BIG thank you to Jason Smith for his assistance on some tricky logic.

For a detailed overview of the API and sample please read through my blog: http://motzcod.es/post/128274430137/pull-to-refresh-anyish-xamarinforms-view

Also available as a NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Refractored.XamForms.PullToRefresh/

Build Status:

Important

If you are using the NuGet ensure that you call “PullToRefreshLayoutRenderer.Init();” in both your MainActivity and AppDelegate. (Similar to Xamarin.Forms.Maps).

Android: You must build and compile against SDK 8.1 or 9.0.

API

Simply create a PullToRefreshLayout like any other Layout and set the Content to a supported view.

var scrollView = new ScrollView
{
  VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand,
  HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand,
  Content = /* Anything you want in your ScrollView */
};

var refreshView = new PullToRefreshLayout {
                VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand,
                HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand,
                Content = scrollView,
                RefreshColor = Color.FromHex("#3498db")
            };

//Set Bindings
refreshView.SetBinding<TestViewModel> (PullToRefreshLayout.IsRefreshingProperty, vm => vm.IsBusy, BindingMode.OneWay);
refreshView.SetBinding<TestViewModel>(PullToRefreshLayout.RefreshCommandProperty, vm => vm.RefreshCommand);

Content = refreshView;

Additionally, your content could be anything you want including a StackLayout:

Content = new StackLayout
{
  Children = 
  {
    new Label { Text = “Hello Pull to Refresh“ },
    refreshView
  }
};

You can of course do it in XAML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ContentPage 
    xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms" 
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml" 
    x:Class="RefreshSample.Views.ScrollViewXamlPage"
    xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:Refractored.XamForms.PullToRefresh;assembly=Refractored.XamForms.PullToRefresh"
    Title="Xaml Scroll">
   <controls:PullToRefreshLayout
          IsPullToRefreshEnabled="True"
          RefreshCommand="{Binding RefreshCommand}"
          IsRefreshing="{Binding IsBusy}"
          RefreshColor="Blue"> 
          <ScrollView
          HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
          VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
            <StackLayout
                  HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
                  VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
                <BoxView HeightRequest="100" WidthRequest="100" BackgroundColor="Blue"/>
                <BoxView HeightRequest="100" WidthRequest="100" BackgroundColor="Red"/>
                <BoxView HeightRequest="100" WidthRequest="100" BackgroundColor="Yellow"/>
                <BoxView HeightRequest="100" WidthRequest="100" BackgroundColor="Purple"/>
                <BoxView HeightRequest="100" WidthRequest="100" BackgroundColor="Maroon"/>
                <BoxView HeightRequest="100" WidthRequest="100" BackgroundColor="Blue"/>
                <BoxView HeightRequest="100" WidthRequest="100" BackgroundColor="Red"/>
                <BoxView HeightRequest="100" WidthRequest="100" BackgroundColor="Yellow"/>
                <BoxView HeightRequest="100" WidthRequest="100" BackgroundColor="Purple"/>
                <BoxView HeightRequest="100" WidthRequest="100" BackgroundColor="Maroon"/>
            </StackLayout>
          </ScrollView>
   </controls:PullToRefreshLayout>
</ContentPage>

Officially Supported Views:

• ListView
• ScrollView
• CollectionView

Unofficial Supported Views

• UICollectionView (iOS)
• RecyclerView (Android)
• GridView (Android)
• Potentially all Android Views without a scroll, but it acts a bit odd on some
• ^^You should probably use a ScrollView^^
