SwipeRefreshLayout on a LinearLayout?

Question

On a ListView, the SwipeRefreshLayout works fine. However, on a LinearLayout only (without ListView) the behaviour is bizarre. The SwiperefreshLayout's progress bar doesn't appear completely, in fact, it just appears for a fraction of second. What can the issue be?

In your LinearLayout which is inside the SwipeRefreshLayout, set android:clickable="true"

<LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/dummy_view"
        android:clickable="true"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

Yes it works, but why we need to set clickable=true? – Ajit Singh Mar 10 '16 at 18:40
Yeah worked for me too. why was it so that when you add `clickable` the `SwipeRefreshLayout` works? – patrickjason91 Jun 10 '16 at 01:54
This did work for me as well. Just wondering what must be the actual reason for this working. – Makarand Aug 03 '16 at 18:22
