SwipeRefreshLayout does not allow me to scroll up

Question

I have an app with a SwipeRefreshLayout which has a ListView inside it. When the ListView is populated, I can easily scroll down to read the older items on the list, but when I try to scroll up this action is mistaken for a Pull2Refresh action even though I am trying to scroll up. It does not matter where I position my finger it still mistakes this for a Pull2Refresh action. How can I sort this problem as scrolling back to the top is a problem.

Here is the XML to that fragment with the SwipeRefreshLayout :

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

  <FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.inc.automata.unamupdates.fragments.GeneralNewsFragment">

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

The problem is that you have wrapped your whole layout with the swipe refresh layout. You should only wrap your ListView with the SwipeRefreshLayout. Link to original answer

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