I see two small problems with the pull-down refresh:
  • While you are scrolling up and down through your CONTACTS or INBOX; you do not know that you have reached the top until you scroll into the blank area.
    Which means you have a good chance of triggering the refresh.
  • Doing a flicking action, scrolling continues after the user has stopped touching it, and this can also accidentally cause a refresh.

For the first, we need some kind of TOP-OF-LIST marker.

For the second, I'm hoping 'Flickable.DragOverBounds' is the answer.
I did some Googling and found:
The boundsBehavior can be one of:
  • Flickable.StopAtBounds - the contents can not be dragged beyond the boundary of the flickable, and flicks will not overshoot.
  • Flickable.DragOverBounds - the contents can be dragged beyond the boundary of the Flickable, but flicks will not overshoot.
  • Flickable.DragAndOvershootBounds (default) - the contents can be dragged beyond the boundary of the Flickable, and can overshoot the boundary when flicked.
Hmm... I see your point.
Would it be simpler if I were to not refresh unless the list is kept pulled down for more than one second?
