How to use pull to refresh in Swift?

by

I am building an RSS reader using swift and need to implement pull to reload functionality.

Here is how i am trying to do it.

class FirstViewController: UIViewController,
    UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {

   @IBOutlet var refresh: UIScreenEdgePanGestureRecognizer
   @IBOutlet var newsCollect: UITableView

   var activityIndicator:UIActivityIndicatorView? = nil

   override func viewDidLoad() {
       super.viewDidLoad()
       self.newsCollect.scrollEnabled = true
      // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

      if nCollect.news.count <= 2{
          self.collectNews()
       }
      else{
          self.removeActivityIndicator()
       }
      view.addGestureRecognizer(refresh)
   }



@IBAction func reload(sender: UIScreenEdgePanGestureRecognizer) {
    nCollect.news = News[]()
    return newsCollect.reloadData()
}

I am getting :

Property ‘self.refresh’ not initialized at super.init call

Please help me to understand the behaviour of Gesture recognisers. A working sample code will be a great help.

Thanks.
