An Android library (now deprecated) that makes it easy to display skeleton loading placeholder views with shimmer animation, similar to Facebook and Alipay. It works non-invasively with any View or RecyclerView using a memory-optimised shimmer implementation.

Use cases

  • show skeleton loading placeholders while data loads in a RecyclerView
  • add shimmer loading animation to any Android view
  • display Facebook-style loading screens in an Android app
  • show placeholder UI while fetching API data
  • replace spinners with skeleton screens on Android

When to choose

  • you need skeleton/shimmer loading states in an Android app with minimal code changes
  • you want a lightweight, non-invasive placeholder solution for any View or RecyclerView

When to avoid

  • starting a new project, since the library is deprecated and unmaintained
  • you need Jetpack Compose loading placeholders
  • you need guaranteed bug fixes or long-term support
