Hello there.

I was expecting this code to sync the animation between all the children with the .shimmer modifier but using this custom shimmer will override the ShimmerTheme provided by the CompositionLocalProvider

val shimmer =  rememberShimmer(shimmerBounds = ShimmerBounds.Window)

CompositionLocalProvider(
    LocalShimmerTheme provides shimmerTheme
 ) {
     Card(
        modifier = modifier
            .shimmer(shimmer),
        elevation = elevation,
        backgroundColor = color,
    ) {}
}

What ends up happening is all the views with the custom shimmer will ignore my custom theme

Would appreciate your help on this issue

PS: Thank you for the library, its very nice.

Hi. First of all, congratulations for the library. It's very useful. Could you tell me if there's a way to control the interval between the animation? And/Or set the animation's duration?

I'm using in my app and (fortunately) the backend respond very quickly so very often it's not possible to see the animation even once...

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

I want to use this library, and from my use case would be great if I can just say the to shimmer Modifier if should be enabled or not.

I created a sample screen for the visibility use case I am proposing.

Please, let me know if this make sense for you and if you have comments, they will be really wellcome!

Is it possible to start and stop the shimmering? I have a "ScannerButton" and when isScanning = true, the shimmer effect should start otherwise the button is non-shimmering.

Would it make sense to implement such a behavior or should I just swap the composable at the right time, e.g. when isScanning = true, then show shimmering version of button and when false show non-shimmering version. What do you think?

Adding a movie to prove. The tooling are not important for the library. https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/629491/138448290-f439b4f0-9c9e-402e-b7a1-594c906b3133.mov

Hey Valentin! I'm implementing unit tests for my Composables that use your shimmer, but they are not passing within a reasonable time. When Modifier.shimmer() is called, unit tests seems to continue running for a while, then eventually finishes after a very long time.

Given the following Activity:

class ShimmerActivity : AppCompatActivity()  {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContent {
            Box(
                modifier = Modifier
                    .fillMaxSize()
                    .shimmer()
                    .background(Color.White)
            )
        }
    }
}

And the following test :

@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner::class)
class ShimmerActivityTest {

    @Test
    fun shimmer_activity_test() {
        launchActivity<ShimmerActivity>().onActivity {
            assertTrue(true)
        }
    }
}

The test only passes after more than 2 hours.

But when //.shimmer() is commented out, then the test passes as expected after a few seconds.
