Shimmer-android is an Android port of Facebook Shimmer library for iOS.
Gradle dependency:
compile 'com.romainpiel.shimmer:library:1.1.0@aar'
Add a ShimmerTextView
to your layout:
<com.romainpiel.shimmer.ShimmerTextView
android:id="@+id/shimmer_tv"
android:text="@string/shimmer"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#444"
android:textSize="50sp"/>
To start the animation:
shimmer = new Shimmer();
shimmer.start(myShimmerTextView);
You may want to keep track of the shimmer instance after the animation is started if you want to stop it.
To stop it:
shimmer.cancel();
You can change the color of the reflection using the custom attribute reflectionColor
:
<com.romainpiel.shimmer.ShimmerTextView
android:id="@+id/shimmer_tv"
android:text="@string/shimmer"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#444"
android:textSize="50sp"
app:reflectionColor="#f00"/>
The animation can be tweaked like a usual ObjectAnimator
:
// DON'T COPY THIS CODE TO YOUR PROJECT! It is just an example
shimmer.setRepeatCount(0)
.setDuration(500)
.setStartDelay(300)
.setDirection(Shimmer.ANIMATION_DIRECTION_RTL)
.setAnimatorListener(new Animator.AnimatorListener(){});
See the sample for a common use of this library.
