simple example on how to use SwipeRefreshLayout with ListView

Question

Does anyone have a simple example on how to use SwipeRefreshLayout with a ListView? Here is my situation:

I have a class SynchDogs that pulls data from the server. So that class serves as the source for my adapter. I want to use SwipeRefreshLayout for refreshing the adapter and so the ListView. DogActivity is an Observer of SynchDogs so that DogActivity implements an update method that is called when new data is ready.

So I implement onRefresh as

@Override
public void onRefresh() {
    SynchDogs.getInstance().synchronizeWithServer();
}

So I am supposing this is all I need to initiate the start of pull-to-refresh. If so, inside update what do I do to end the call?

I also already have

swipeLayout = (SwipeRefreshLayout) findViewById(R.id.swipe_container);
swipeLayout.setOnRefreshListener(this);
swipeLayout.setColorScheme(android.R.color.holo_blue_bright, 
        android.R.color.holo_green_light, 
        android.R.color.holo_orange_light, 
        android.R.color.holo_red_light);

update

Basically, I want to know the call for stopping the color show.

Solution 1

Call the method setRefreshing(false)

Then maybe there is something else wrong with my code because I did that.

All I have to do is swipeLayout.setRefreshing(false) right?

Yep, I had a bug somewhere else.
