Has anyone figured out how to have a compose webview with pull to refresh yet? I keep getting this request from my PMs, but can't get it to work reliably.

It's basically still this same issue: https://github.com/google/accompanist/issues/1670 I tried forking webview and making some changes, but wasn't able to get it working reliably. Surely someone is in the same boat (i.e. working on a compose app that uses webview extensively)

I can't even get pull to refresh to work with predictive back navigation as it steals it's touches 🫠but this with the WebView, drove me nuts and I gave up so I made peace with a solution that wrapped the WebView in a separate box and in another box that holds these I've added the pull to refresh

[Colton Idle]

So you just have a doubly nested webview inside of Boxes and you were able to get this to work? No way.

If your able to share any code I'd be eternally grateful. lol

Same issue as in regular Views, Webview using AbsoluteLayout and not honor scroll interfaces. Often solved with NestedScrollView + magic with layout params. In compose there is https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/touch-input/pointer-input/scroll#nested_scrolling_interop
Also Accompanist webview is deprecated so it will not be solved. I backported their webview implementation to handle view states correct as they did not. I hope I not need pull refresh here.
Another solution is Box with scroll and put standalone pull refresh indicator component outside.

yeah im using the webview fork https://github.com/KevinnZou/compose-webview

and im fine with making some modifications to it. because i have a very particular use case (have a compose app that is 90% a webview) but we require pull to refresh

Yep, WebView doesn't support nested scrolling at all, so none of the things that work by default on every other scrolling container work on WebView 😢

darn. i could have sworn i did this in view land 🤷

guess im going to keep hacking away at this until something works lol. thanks all!
