SFPullToRefresh produces blank view / fails to show my content

[Brad Foskett]

Alessandro Del Sole said: "Both the latter example and the code shown in the documentation produce a blank result for me."

I'm getting a completely blank screen as well regardless of what type of content I add to the PullableContent property. I've set a background color for SFPullToRefresh and can verify that it does indeed get added to the view properly. It just doesn't display my content. 

Furthermore, if I pull to refresh on that blank view nothing happens. I figured I'd at least see the spinner and the events would fire, but they dont.

In my opinion this is a broken component. One should simply need to install the DLL's (which I've done correctly) and wrap any type of content in SFPullToRefresh.

Hi Brad,

Query 1: "latter example produce a blank result for me"

The sample which you have referred for PullToRefresh is contains only iOS project. Now we have created the sample in both Android and iOS platforms. Please find the sample from below location.

Query 2: "code shown in the documentation produce a blank result"

Can you check whether the required assemblies are added in android project like below link.

I agree with Brad. Even the example you provided didnt work for me. I'm currently using James Montemagno's pulltorefreshlayout https://github.com/jamesmontemagno/Xamarin.Forms-PullToRefreshLayout

Hi Madhav,

Thanks for the update. With the latest version of Syncfusion nugets for the SfPullToRefresh control, there has been some issues in rendering the control and currently the SfPullToRefresh control is undergoing a major stability revamp to provide the best possible end user experience and hence it is our responsibility to let you know that you are bound to face few more hurdles and limitations in the SfPullToRefresh control until then. So unfortunately you may have to wait till the last week of April 2017 for our 2017 Volume 2 Main Release, where you can expect your issues to be resolved. 

 

We appreciate your patience until then 

We regret the inconvenience caused.

I am still facing the same issue. Blank , nothing is there in the page that I added the pull to refresh over the list view that was showing before.

   <StackLayout HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
            <pullToRefresh:SfPullToRefresh x:Name="pulltorefresh"
                                           TransitionMode="SlideOnTop"
                                           PullingThreshold="100"
                                           RefreshContentHeight="30"
                                           RefreshContentThreshold="40"
                                           RefreshContentWidth="30">
            <pullToRefresh:SfPullToRefresh.Behaviors>
                <behaviors:EventToCommandBehavior EventName="Refreshing" Command="{Binding RefreshingCommand}" >behaviors:EventToCommandBehavior>
            pullToRefresh:SfPullToRefresh.Behaviors>
                
            <pullToRefresh:SfPullToRefresh.PullableContent>                    
                <Label Text="Hello" />
             pullToRefresh:SfPullToRefresh.PullableContent>
        pullToRefresh:SfPullToRefresh>

Do you mean 2018?

Hi Ali Alkhamis, 

 

We had checked your query. SfPullToRefresh control can be loaded inside any layout such as GridLayout, StackLayout etc. If your requirement is to make the SfPullToRefresh load inside a StackLayout, then you have to set the Horizontal and VerticalOptions of the SfPullToRefresh and its parent to “LayoutOption.FillAndExpand” based on the orientation of the container in which SfPullToRefresh is loaded. 

The VerticalOptions and HorizontalOptions of SfPullToRefresh are set as “Fill and Expand”. Refer the following code example to load the SfPulltoRefresh control inside a StackLayout. 

 

Code logics: 

<syncfusion:SfPullToRefresh x:Name="pullToRefresh" 

                                    IsRefreshing="False" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" 

                                    TransitionMode="SlideOnTop"  

                                    ProgressBackgroundColor="#00AFF9" 

                                    ProgressStrokeWidth="10"  

                                    ProgressStrokeColor="White" 

                                      PullingThreshold="100" 

                                           RefreshContentHeight="30" 

                                           RefreshContentThreshold="40" 

                                           RefreshContentWidth="30"> 

 

We have attached working sample for your reference and you can download it from the below link.
