Force a manual refresh

[andsmi]

I'd like to force a refresh (espcially on the first load of the app) to indicate to the user that it is loading, as well as let them know about the "pull down to refresh" area (they will see it, and I believe "get the idea") -- I did this on my own with a method that does the scrolling, sets the state, and calls the reload, but is there a better way? Or should I just put my code up?

Hi andsmi,

I'm trying to accomplish the same thing. I would love to see you how you implemented it?

In the viewDidLoad event place this code:

if(!self.pullTableView.pullTableIsRefreshing) {
    self.pullTableView.pullTableIsRefreshing = YES;
    [self performSelector:@selector(refreshTable) withObject:nil afterDelay:1];
}

That will perform the refreshTable after a short delay so the user has a chance to see the table "pull down", see the "loading" text, then retract back up.
