iPhone Pull Down Refresh like Tweetie

I am trying to find an example of placing an element above the Table View outside the normal scrollable region. How would I do this? An example would be what the Tweetie 2 app for the iPhone does to refresh tweets.

Sample code would be extremely helpful.

1   If you do use this, be mindful that there is a patent pending for the concept: appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/… – Crad Mar 20 '11 at 18:29 Interesting, I know Tweetie did it best, not sure it did this first. Also to note that this question was asked well before the patent was even filed. – Daniel Mar 21 '11 at 11:58 I believe that when the patent is filed is irrelevant. The criteria is "when did Tweetie 2 release this functionality," and "did anyone else release a product that did the same thing before them?" – Greg MaleticMar 30 '11 at 21:45 1   Hate to say this, but it should be criminal to patent a paradigm that users expect to work, especially one like this one. – Moshe Oct 16 '11 at 3:48 3 Answers activeoldestvotes up vote49down voteaccepted I did find the answer to my own question, for anyone who is interested. EGOTableViewPullRefresh I tried this solution and it works great! It is almost identical to the Tweetie Pull Down refresh. share|improve this answer edited Oct 30 '09 at 20:31 answered Oct 28 '09 at 3:02 Daniel 2,31311428 4   I spent a little bit of time on EGOTableViewPullRefresh today and moved the main code into a UITableViewController subclass, it might be easier for some people to implement.github.com/jessedc/EGOTableViewPullRefresh – Jessedc Jul 1 '10 at 7:19 I think the EGOTableViewPullRefrehsh isn't a very easy solution. But if you can use it: It's the best way ;-) – Fabio Poloni Feb 13 '11 at 14:59 I can't find a license on the github site. – titaniumdecoy Apr 27 '11 at 18:58 @titaniumdecoy It's in the source: github.com/enormego/EGOTableViewPullRefresh/blob/master/… – JosephH Nov 15 '11 at 9:37 I think EGOTableViewPullRefresh doesn't supported by author. 2 years no commits. Is enormegoalive? – Almas Adilbek May 3 at 10:45 Here's an alternative to EGOTableViewPullRefresh: http://blog.leahculver.com/2010/12/iphone-pull-to-refresh.html Source available on github here: https://github.com/leah/PullToRefresh It's slightly easier to use from the developers point of view, though I did go with EGOTableViewPullRefresh in the end as I preferred how it looked.
