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
