ShimmerLayout is an Android library that adds a memory-efficient shimmering effect (like Facebook or LinkedIn loading placeholders) to any layout. It is now deprecated in favor of Facebook's Shimmer for Android.

Use cases

  • add shimmer loading effect to android layouts
  • create skeleton loading placeholders in android app
  • animate shimmer on large layouts without high memory usage
  • customize shimmer animation duration and appearance
  • show loading state for text or views in android

When to choose

  • you maintain a legacy android app already using this library
  • you need a lightweight shimmer effect on very old android API levels

When to avoid

  • starting a new android project needing shimmer effects
  • you want an actively maintained library
  • you prefer Kotlin-first or Jetpack Compose solutions
