How to disable “pull to refresh” action and use only indicator?
From the documentation: If an activity wishes to show just the progress animation, it should call setRefreshing(true). To disable the gesture and progress animation, call setEnabled(false) on the view. So to show the animation: swiperefreshLayout.setEnabled(true); swiperefreshLayout.setRefreshing(true); And to hide the animation: swiperefreshLayout.setRefreshing(false); swiperefreshLayout.setEnabled(false);
