iPhone Pull Down Refresh like Tweetie

Question

I am trying to find an example of placing an element above the Table View outside the normal scrollable region. How would I do this? An example would be what the Tweetie 2 app for the iPhone does to refresh tweets.

Sample code would be extremely helpful.

Answer 1

I did find the answer to my own question, for anyone who is interested.

EGOTableViewPullRefresh

I tried this solution and it works great! It is almost identical to the Tweetie Pull Down refresh.

Answer 2

Here's an alternative to EGOTableViewPullRefresh:

Source available on github here:

It's slightly easier to use from the developers point of view, though I did go with EGOTableViewPullRefresh in the end as I preferred how it looked.
