4. Introduction
There is a patent application
for the “pull-to-refresh”
feature that Loren Brichter
pioneered in Tweetie and is
now an extremely popular UI
gesture used in a lot of iOS,
Mac and Android apps.

1. The user pulls down a list.
2. A message appears, telling the user
who can pull down the list to refresh.
3. The user pulls the list further down.
4. A new message appears, telling the
user that the list will refresh when he
releases it.
5. A refreshing or loading message
appears.
6. The refreshing message disappears
and a new list is shown, with the new
items at the top of the list.

including on the surface of its children.
The onInterceptTouchEvent() method gives a parent the
chance to see any touch event before its children do.
