Code

CustomRefreshIndicator(
  /// Scrollable widget

    itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) => const SizedBox(
      height: 100,
    ),
    separatorBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) =>
        const SizedBox(height: 20),
  ),

  builder: (
    BuildContext context,

        children: <Widget>[
          AnimatedBuilder(
            animation: controller,
            builder: (BuildContext context, _) {
              /// This part will be rebuild on every controller change
              return MyIndicator();
            },
          ),
          /// Scrollable widget that was provided as [child] argument
          ///
          /// TIP:
          /// You can also wrap [child] with [Transform] widget to also a animate list transform (see example app)
          child,
        ],
      );
    }
  /// A function that's called when the user has dragged the refresh indicator
