What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A deprecated Android library providing a ShimmerTextView and ShimmerButton with a shimmering animation effect, ported from Facebook's iOS Shimmer library. It is no longer maintained, though the code still works and can be copied into projects.
Use cases
- add a shimmering effect to text on Android
- show an animated loading indicator
- highlight a TextView with a shimmer animation
- create a shimmering button in an Android app
- customize shimmer animation duration and direction
When to choose
- you need a simple shimmer text effect on Android and are fine copying unmaintained code
- you want a lightweight drop-in view for loading shimmer effects on older Android projects
When to avoid
- you need a maintained library with active support
- starting a new Android project where modern shimmer libraries exist
- you need effects beyond TextView/Button shimmering
