I have an image view inside a shimmer frame layout, when load an image into the image view I want to clear the shimmer entirely but there is no way to do this. If I stop the shimmer there is still an overlay over my image view.

I have implemented the library, but this two scenarios are happening; First, when the view comes up the shimmer animation starts automatically, but when I call mShimmerFrameLayout.stopShimmer() it does not stop it. Secondly, when autoStart is disabled in the layout attribute and the view comes up, if I call mShimmerFrameLayout.startShimmer(), it does not start the animation.

Please a solution is needed.

used jar instead of adding it as compile statement in dependencies. worked fine in demo. but not working in project. Bcause adding dependency was giving me Error:(593) Attribute “shape” already defined with incompatible format this error.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #41: Binary XML file line #41: Error inflating class com.facebook.shimmer.ShimmerFrameLayout.

i want to create a view which has a bright-white light over the whole view , but when i used this library , the color of the shimmer light always depends on the color of the view's background ,for example , when a view'background is yellow ,the shimmer light is yellow too , but what i want is that the colour of the shimmer light is brght white. how can i make this?

I'm getting Out of memory when using shimmer layout. Following is the log:

Hello, Shimmer works like a charm in my project but there's a little problem. as i am using shimmer inside my recyclerview its getting stopped animating when i scrolled :(

A simple video of that problem -> Video_Of_Stopping Shimmer [20 Sec]

Note: I applied shimmer in nested recyclerview. Here's my snippet(for simplicity i just added meaningful code).

Inside MyAdapter

public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
......................................
 switch (holder.getItemViewType()) {
 case ViewType.LATEST_MOVIE:
                final LatestMovieViewHolder latestMovieViewHolder = (LatestMovieViewHolder) holder;
                latestMovieViewHolder.titleMovie.setText("Latest Movie");
                latestMovieViewHolder.shimmerFrameLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                latestMovieViewHolder.shimmerFrameLayout.startShimmerAnimation();
                latestMovieViewHolder.sectionRecylerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(context, OrientationHelper.HORIZONTAL, false));
                latestMovieViewHolder.sectionRecylerView.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
                RetrofitRequestAPI retrofitRequestAPI = MyRetrofit.getRetrofitInstance().create(RetrofitRequestAPI.class);
                Call<List<Movie>> requestObject = retrofitRequestAPI.getMoviesInTheater();
                requestObject.enqueue(new Callback<List<Movie>>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onResponse(Call<List<Movie>> call, Response<List<Movie>> response) {
                        if (response.body() != null) {
                            latestMovieViewHolder.shimmerFrameLayout.stopShimmerAnimation();
                            latestMovieViewHolder.sectionRecylerView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                            latestMovieViewHolder.shimmerFrameLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                            latestMovieViewHolder.sectionRecylerView.setAdapter(new SectionAdapter(context, response.body()));
                        }
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onFailure(Call<List<Movie>> call, Throwable t) {
                        Toast.makeText(context, t.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    }
                });
                break;

i have imageview insdie shimmer Frame i want to just white shimmer over it i have tried so many ways but can't achieve anything i just want white shimmer over my image view currently i am doing this but nothing happening i started it pragmatically

At the same time as the Gradle update, the following items have also been changed.

• Update Gradle Wrapper to 6.5-all
• Update Kotlin to 1.4.10
• Remove unnecessary buildscript and allprojects from the module-level build.gradle

In case you have ShimmerFrameLayout (outer) inside ShimmerFrameLayout (inner), and you start shimmer for inner view - it also starts shimmer for outer view (at least animate it). Could you please check this?

Hi. There is such a problem. I have a RecyclerView list which contains, let's say 100 elements, each element is a viewHolder-> textViewwrapped in a shimmer.

When the RecyclerView calls the bindmethod I start the shimmer animation and my text starts to flicker(shimmer effect), it is ok, good.

BUT as soon as I scroll down the list below, the next elements also start the shimmer (because bind is called for new item). And it turns out that the start time of the shimmer is different for elements.

Is there a way to make the shimmer animation for all elements in list synchronous?

This change allows users of ShimmerFrameLayout to query/change a value of repetitions count and add/remove animator listeners.

With these changes users will be able to change a shimmer effect when the current animation (or repetition cycle) is finished.

Current library version 0.5.0 was released more than 3 years ago. As of today the main branch is ahead of 0.5.0 release by 25 commits (including important crash and OOM fixes). It'd be good to have a new version with those fixes released.

ShimmerDrawable not working with View.LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE and View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE.

Environment: Android emulator, Pixel 4 api 31

    Shimmer shimmer = new Shimmer.ColorHighlightBuilder()

        .setDirection(Shimmer.Direction.TOP_TO_BOTTOM)
        .setAutoStart(true)
        .build();

    ShimmerDrawable shimmerDrawable = new ShimmerDrawable();
    shimmerDrawable.setShimmer(shimmer);

    ShimmerDrawable shimmerDrawable2 = new ShimmerDrawable();
    shimmerDrawable2.setShimmer(shimmer);

Please add support for using theme attribute to pass default style.

It could be done in Shimmer builder by accepting third parameter

   AlphaHighlightBuilder().consumeAttributes(context, null, R.attr.shimmerStyle).build()

Or for extending Layout class, like

    class MyLayout constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet? = null, defStyleAttr: Int = R.attr.shimmerStyle) : ShimmerFrameLayout(context, attrs, defStyleAttr)

i've got a lot of events in Crashlytics with this description:
