import { useState, useCallback } from 'react'; import { Host, PullToRefreshBox, LazyColumn, ListItem } from '@expo/ui/jetpack-compose'; export default function BasicPullToRefresh() { const [refreshing, setRefreshing] = useState(false); const onRefresh = useCallback(() => { setRefreshing(true); setTimeout(() => { setRefreshing(false); }, 2000); }, []); return ( <Host style={{ height: 400 }}> <PullToRefreshBox isRefreshing={refreshing} onRefresh={onRefresh}> <LazyColumn> <ListItem> <ListItem.HeadlineContent>Item 1</ListItem.HeadlineContent> </ListItem> <ListItem> <ListItem.HeadlineContent>Item 2</ListItem.HeadlineContent> </ListItem> <ListItem> <ListItem.HeadlineContent>Item 3</ListItem.HeadlineContent> </ListItem> <ListItem> <ListItem.HeadlineContent>Item 4</ListItem.HeadlineContent> </ListItem> <ListItem> <ListItem.HeadlineContent>Item 5</ListItem.HeadlineContent> </ListItem> </LazyColumn> </PullToRefreshBox> </Host> ); }

Custom indicator colors
