SwipeRefreshLayout - the RecyclerView is not pulled down

Question

I have a RecyclerView with GridLayoutManager and when using SwipeRefreshLayout the RecyclerView is not pulled down. How to create the effect of having a gap between the toolbar and the recyclerview while refreshing?

XML:

    <ProgressBar
        android:id="@+id/progressBar"
        style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleLarge"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center" />

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

        <RecyclerView
            android:id="@+id/gridView"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent" />

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

</FrameLayout>

CODE:

swipeLayout = (SwipeRefreshLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.swipe_container);
swipeLayout.setOnRefreshListener(this);
swipeLayout.setColorScheme(android.R.color.holo_blue_bright, android.R.color.holo_green_light, android.R.color.holo_orange_light, android.R.color.holo_red_light);

gridView = (RecyclerView) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.gridView);
gridLayoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(getActivity(), 4, GridLayoutManager.VERTICAL, false);
gridView.setLayoutManager(gridLayoutManager);
gridView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
gridView.setHasFixedSize(false);
gridView.setItemAnimator(new DefaultItemAnimator());

Answer 1

Your code is all okay, but the swipeRefreshLayout does not pull down the grid view but only itself, For the demo check this video . You can however use other libraries like Ulta-Pull-to-Refresh to achieve the desired effect!
