Pull to refresh behavior

[LinusU]

First of all, great framework! I'm impressed.

I would like to propose a change in the behavior of pull to refresh. In newer apps made by Apple, you don't have to actually let go to start loading. When you drag down enough it will automatically start the loading, and then you can let go whenever you want.

I think that it's better because it starts the loading earlier and thus makes the app feel more responsive.

Hi,
But the current behavior we can see in lot of most popular iOS apps like Facebook and Twitter. As about your behavior, the only app is on my mind with such behavior is only Mail app, which else?

[LinusU]

Hmm, I thought that all newer Apple apps used this and that this was "the new way to do it". I might be wrong thought. Would be nice if we can add in a simple option for this :)

Yes, i see it only in Mail app. So if such behavior will have more requests, i will realize it

Hi all - the behavior that Linus is talking about is the built-in behavior
of the UIRefreshControlhttps://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/UIRefreshControl_class/Reference/Reference.htmlelement.
Like mentioned, you don’t see this behavior in Twitter and
Facebook because they implement their own, custom refresh control.

The native UIRefreshControl is probably one of the most difficult
animations to replicate, even if the refresh-without-letting-go
characteristic is not. I think that since the Framework7 pull-to-refresh
implementation is closer to what you might see in Twitter or Facebook, we
should leave it as it is.

Nice work again on your awesome framework!

iOS8 does tweak these animations slightly (and in a difficult to emulate with JS/CSS kinda way) so I recommend closing this and revisiting this when iOS8 launches.
