Load earlier messages by pull

Issue Description

Now there’s a way to add load earlier button at the top of the messages list, or refresh list by passing onRefresh and refreshing props to FlatList via listViewProps. In the second case refresh will be done on pulling list from the bottom to the top.

Is there a way to keep inverted FlatList, but load earlier messages by scroll to the earliest message loaded (at the very top of the list) and pull the list from the top to bottom and control list scroll to keep current earliest element at the place when earlier messages will be loaded?

onEndReachedThreshold is a value between 0 and 1.

This works for me perfectly:

listViewProps={
  {
    onEndReached: this.onLoadEarlier.bind(this),
    onEndReachedThreshold: 0.5,
  }
}
