Provide both TextView and ImageView the ability to show shimmer (animation loader) before any text or image is shown. Useful when waiting for data to be loaded from the network. Example below
Loader View for TextView defined in layout XML
<com.elyeproj.loaderviewlibrary.LoaderTextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
Loader View for ImageView defined in layout XML
<com.elyeproj.loaderviewlibrary.LoaderImageView
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="100dp" />
Define the % width of the TextView that shows the loading animation with width_weight
<com.elyeproj.loaderviewlibrary.LoaderTextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:width_weight="0.4" />
Define the % height of the TextView that shows the loading animation with height_weight
<com.elyeproj.loaderviewlibrary.LoaderTextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:height_weight="0.8" />
Define use gradient of the TextView or ImageView that shows the gradient with use_gradient
<com.elyeproj.loaderviewlibrary.LoaderTextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:use_gradient="true" />
Define rectangle round radius using corner
. The default corner is 0.
<com.elyeproj.loaderviewlibrary.LoaderTextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:corners="16" />
Setting the Text Style as BOLD would darken the loading shimmer
Other feature of TextView and ImageView is still applicable.
Use a custom shimmer color (note: if set, point 7 will not apply, your color will be used even if the Text Style is BOLD)
<com.elyeproj.loaderviewlibrary.LoaderTextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:custom_color="@android:color/holo_green_dark" />
Reset and show shimmer (animation loader) again by calling the below API
myLoaderTextView.resetLoader();
myLoaderImageView.resetLoader();
Android SDK API Version 15 and above.
On your module build.gradle
, add
dependencies {
implementation 'com.elyeproj.libraries:loaderviewlibrary:2.0.0'
}
