Android pull-to-refresh show loading footer at start

Question

I am using the old version of Android PullToRefresh library. It works fine for triggering loading when over scrolling.

However, I want to show the loading footer view when I first enter my activity. I tried many times but still cannot find a correct way.

Is there anybody could help me out?

try to set it to show footer with a delay of 300-500 millis,sometimes it doesn't have enough time to initialise — Eddy, Jan 20 '14 at 14:32
Thanks! That really works! Please post an answer and I can accept it. — Robin, Jan 20 '14 at 14:36

try to set it to show footer with a delay of 300-500 millis,sometimes it doesn't have enough time to initialise

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            mPullRefreshGridView.setRefreshing(true);
        }
    }, 500);

this solved the problem to me

Thanks, it really works, and I even have tried similar approach as post a runnable with ZERO delay, and it takes no effect. It is a weird bug. – Robin Jan 20 '14 at 14:39
I know i also had problems with this :) – Eddy Jan 20 '14 at 14:40
isn't there an event for when it finished initializing? – David Fischer Feb 20 '15 at 16:36
Nope, try to use the new view SwipeToRefreshLayout from support.v4 library – Eddy Feb 20 '15 at 17:31

Set PullToRefreshListView mode:

<com.handmark.pulltorefresh.library.PullToRefreshListView
ptr:ptrMode="pullFromEnd"
ptr:ptrAnimationStyle="rotate"
/>

call

getRefreshableListView().setRefreshing();

where getRefreshableListView() is your method that finds actual PullToRefreshListView. After initial loading of your data don't forget to call

getRefreshableListView().onRefreshComplete();

if setRefreshing() does not work, try using postDelayed():

getRefreshableListView().postDelayed(new Runnable() { getRefreshableListView().setRefreshing();}, 200);

I have already called mPullRefreshGridView.setRefreshing(); in my Activity's onCreate(), does not work – Robin Jan 20 '14 at 14:34
Thanks, reputations for you. – Robin Jan 20 '14 at 14:43
Sorry, Eddy gave the answer earlier than you. – Robin Jan 20 '14 at 15:11
