How to use SwipeRefresh's refresh icon Without Listview?

Question

My app consists of different activities where I use a SwipeRefreshLayout to refresh data in listViews by swiping. When this happen a refresh icon is displayed at the top of the screen.

However, for 2 other specific activities that contain no list view, I only want to display the refresh icon while the data is refreshing by using pullToRefresh.setRefreshing(true); & pullToRefresh.setRefreshing(false);. I don't need to use it for swiping.

This is how it looks in my list view layout xml file:

<android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
    android:id="@+id/pullToRefresh"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/ListView"
        android:dividerHeight="8dp"
        android:divider="#000000"
        android:layout_below="@+id/feedLinearLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

</android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>

Answer 1

Use SwipeRefreshLayout as a regular layout, and call pullToRefresh.setRefreshing(true) when you want to show the loading wheel, and pullToRefresh.setRefreshing(false) to hide it.
