Android L - Material design on SwipeRefreshLayout color scheme
The Material design spec has been updated with the new guidelines for the swipe to refresh pattern.
As of revision 21 of the support library, SwipeRefreshLayout
now displays a circular indicator.
When you start swiping down, the indicator has an arrow (which suggests refreshing). When you release it, it loses the arrow and starts spinning.
Now we can still set a color scheme and the progress bar will cycle between the colors.
So which colors should we use?
Let's take a look at the Google I/O source code:
mSwipeRefreshLayout.setColorSchemeResources(
R.color.refresh_progress_1,
R.color.refresh_progress_2,
R.color.refresh_progress_3);
And here are the colors:
<color name="refresh_progress_1">@color/theme_accent_2</color>
<color name="refresh_progress_2">@color/theme_accent_1</color>
<color name="refresh_progress_3">@color/theme_primary</color>
So yes, it is a mix between the primary and the accent colors.
