This component is used inside a ScrollView or ListView to add pull to refresh functionality. When the ScrollView is at scrollY: 0, swiping down triggers an onRefresh event.

Example

import React from 'react'; import { RefreshControl, SafeAreaView, ScrollView, StyleSheet, Text } from 'react-native'; const wait = (timeout) => { return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, timeout)); } const App = () => { const [refreshing, setRefreshing] = React.useState(false); const onRefresh = React.useCallback(() => { setRefreshing(true); wait(2000).then(() => setRefreshing(false)); }, []); return ( <SafeAreaView style={styles.container}> <ScrollView contentContainerStyle={styles.scrollView} refreshControl={ <RefreshControl refreshing={refreshing} onRefresh={onRefresh} /> } > <Text>Pull down to see RefreshControl indicator</Text> </ScrollView> </SafeAreaView> ); } const styles = StyleSheet.create({ container: { flex: 1, }, scrollView: { flex: 1, backgroundColor: 'pink', alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center', }, }); export default App;

Note: refreshing is a controlled prop, this is why it needs to be set to true in the onRefresh function otherwise the refresh indicator will stop immediately.
