In the new gmail application (4.5) the refresh is done by "Pull-to-Refresh" action in the Actionbar:
Where can I find more information about that "Pull-to-Refresh"?
Chris Banes (the same guy that implemented the best pull to refresh component for android) also implemented the GMail like Pull To Refresh.
You can find it here: https://github.com/chrisbanes/ActionBar-PullToRefresh
Note that this project is still under development so the current API may change.
Update:
Both ActionBar-PullToRefresh
and Android-PullToRefresh
are deprecated. Standart way to implement a pull to refresh is using SwipeRefreshLayout
of v4 support library.
Here is the required steps:
Create a root or sub layout with SwipeRefreshLayout and put a scrollable item in it.
<android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout ...> <ListView .... /> </android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>
Add a refresh listener
SwipeRefreshLayout srl = ...; srl.setOnRefreshListener( new SwipeRefreshLayout.OnRefreshListener() { @Override public void onRefresh() { ... } });
You can find a nice tutorial about it below:
