Research direction

Start by reproducing the linked React Native RefreshControl example with the package's ScrollView and its header, paying attention to the configured marginTop and where the control renders. No source file or test is named in the issue; done means pull-to-refresh renders with the scroll content rather than inside the header.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I am trying to add pull to refresh functionality using RefreshControl as shown in this example: http://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/refreshcontrol

The control appears inside the header instead of as part of the content itself even though the scroll view component has marginTop set to the current height of the header. I was wondering if anyone had any insight on how to achieve this?
