ActionBar - PullToRefresh

Question

I am developing an App where you can view BusStop Timetables. And users can refresh with the ActionBar PullToRefresh (Library). My app has also translucent statusbar on KitKat enabled.

Now the ActionBar Overlay, which should be normally overlap the actionbar, is now displaced upwards.

How can I solve that?

Best regards!

So, can you post us some code ? And if possible an image of what is going on would help – Longo

you should update your answer for more detail what have you tried, then everyone can help you. – Dallapiccola

Providing code will help get an answer. In the mean time, this tutorial helped me get mine going, perhaps it can help you. – Jeopardous

I don't think this question needs code, the problem is that the pull to refresh bar does not have the margin of the status bar anymore and is displayed right at the top of the screen. – Maggee

Answer 1

What I did is create a custom header layout for the pull-to-refresh layout. I just copied the original one, added the height of the status bar which is usually 25dp and added a 25dp top padding.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="73dp"
    android:paddingTop="25dp" >

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@id/ptr_content"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="73dp" >

        <TextView
            android:id="@id/ptr_text"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
    </FrameLayout>

    <fr.castorflex.android.smoothprogressbar.SmoothProgressBar
        android:id="@id/ptr_progress"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:minHeight="@dimen/ptr_progress_bar_stroke_width" />

</RelativeLayout>

Now set the layout when you setup the pull to refresh layout:

ActionBarPullToRefresh.from(getActivity()).listener(new OnRefreshListener() {

    @Override
    public void onRefreshStarted(View view) {
        refresh();
    }

}).headerLayout(R.layout.header).build()).setup(ptrLayout);

Could you award the bounty if it helped :) – Maggee

Sure :) But how do I do that? – Wench

Is there an award bounty button? – Maggee

@MarkBuikema I don't think you can award the bounty to yourself. In any case, putting 25dp as a fixed value seems a little brittle, did you check for example #20584825 ? – Inappetence

Answer 2

try this.

res/layout/activity_main.xml

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
  android:id="@+id/container"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  tools:context="com.swipetorefresh.MainActivity"
  tools:ignore="MergeRootFrame" />

res/layout/fragment_main.xml

<android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout           
   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
   android:id="@+id/container"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   tools:ignore="MergeRootFrame" >

   <ListView
       android:id="@android:id/list"
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="match_parent" />

</android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>

    mListAdapter.addAll(getCountries(mOffset));

    // Signify that we are done refreshing
    mSwipeRefreshLayout.setRefreshing(false);
