Swipe refresh to be called only when user swipes for it, not when user reaches top of list

Question

https://github.com/googlesamples/android-SwipeRefreshLayoutBasic

Referring to the sample above. The swipe refresh is calling when user scrolls up reaches top of the list. What i want is to call swipe refresh only when user specially swipes for it. Not calling swipe refresh when user is scrolling up and reached top end.

When i am using the lib below, i get what i want. But i m facing some issues with this lib so i didnt want to use it. github.com/baoyongzhang/android-PullRefreshLayout

Here is the video clip of what i dont want: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By2g3SV1qz5TUFdZZ1FUNmxzU1E/view?usp=sharing

Answer 1

        swipe.setOnRefreshListener(
            new SwipeRefreshLayout.OnRefreshListener() {
                @Override
                public void onRefresh() {

                    Toast.makeText(getContext(), "List Refreshed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                    swipe.setRefreshing(false); //Refresh view Close
                }
            }
    );

now begin with the xml

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

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

in the above code there is a listview inside swipeRefreshLayout, put it inside the layour of your activity

then in your activity declare it by this just inside the activity class

SwipeRefreshLayout swipeRefreshLayout;
ListView listView;

then inside of onCreate method assign the xml code to it

     swipeRefreshLayout = (SwipeRefreshLayout) findViewById(R.id.contact_swipe_refresh);
 listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.contact_listView);

then put your adapter to listview and set onrefreshlistener to the swiperefreshlayout by this

swipeRefreshLayout.setOnRefreshListener(new 

    SwipeRefreshLayout.OnRefreshListener() {
                @Override
                public void onRefresh() {
                   //call a method here which make a webservice call or what ever you are using to put data inside the listview then set adapter and call  

swipeRefreshLayout.setRefreshing(false);
                    }
                }
            });

        listView.setOnScrollListener(new AbsListView.OnScrollListener() {

        @Override
        public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView view, int scrollState) {
            switch (scrollState) {
                case SCROLL_STATE_IDLE:
                    //scroll was stopped, let's show search bar again
                    break;
                case SCROLL_STATE_TOUCH_SCROLL:
                    //user is scrolling, let's hide search bar
                    break;
            }
        }
        @Override
        public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem, int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount) {
            if (firstVisibleItem > 0) {
                //user scrolled down, first element is hidden
                //you can add the swipe trigger statement anywhere
            }
            else {//else
            }
        }
    });

Here, I tried to solve your problem

activity_main.xml

<android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/swipe_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <ScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" >

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="vertical" >

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/infoText"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
                android:gravity="center"
                android:text="Pull Down to Refresh" />

            <ListView
                android:id="@+id/listView"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="424dp"
