The invention is suitable for the technical field of communication, and provides a refreshing method and device for a list control, a storage medium and a terminal. The method comprises the followingsteps that: when a list refreshing instruction is obtained, obtaining a data package from a server, wherein the data package comprises a data object to be displayed in a list visible window; for eachdata object, judging whether a layout category corresponding to the data object is in the presence in terminal memory or not; if the layout category corresponding to the data object is in the presencein the terminal memory, reading the stored layout category from the terminal memory; and obtaining a style parameter from the layout category, and loading and displaying the data object in the list visible window according to the style parameter. By use of the method, a lazy loading way is adopted to display the data object, the consumption of a terminal CPU (Central Processing Unit) is effectively lowered, and the problems in the prior art that performance loss is large and refreshing smoothness is low when the data objects of different manifestation modes are displayed are solved.
