[Spec] CollectionView Refresh Indicator

[pauldipietro]

Summary

Provide the ability for users to define their own template/ContentView for a custom refresh indicator in the CollectionView.

API

<CollectionView>
    <RefreshIndicatorTemplate>
        <ContentView>
            <Label Text="Refreshing..."/>
        </ContentView>
    </RefreshIndicatorTemplate>
</CollectionView>

var cv = new CollectionView();
cv.RefreshIndicatorTemplate = new ContentView {
    Content = new Label { Text = "Refreshing..." }
};

Properties

API	Description
RefreshIndicatorTemplate	ContentView that appears to indicate that the CollectionView is refreshing.

Considerations

The goal is, of course, for the behavior to best match the naming, which is why RefreshIndicatorTemplate is being used to start with. Setting it within the CollectionView (such as in the above sample XAML) is consistent with typical Xamarin.Forms concepts. Feedback is welcome as this is still a relatively open enhancement concept.

Difficulty: Medium

@pauldipietro hi

I can be wrong, but RefreshIndicatorTemplate name hints me, that i should set DataTemplate there.

Perhaps, RefreshIndicator would be enough.
Because we have such names as: ActivityIndicator (class name), Header and Footer properties in ListView. (instead of ActivityIndicatorView, HeaderTemplate and FooterTemplate)

Wasn't this decided to be RefreshView as discussed in the CollectionView spec?
