ShimmerTextView is a simple library to integrate shimmer effect in your TextView.

• Set a base color in ShimmerTextView.
• Set a highlight color in ShimmerTextView.
• Set animation duration for shimmer effect(in millisecond).
• Set animation direction(left_to_right, top_to_bottom, right_to_left, bottom_to_top).
• Set ShimmerTextView shape(Linear/Radial)

Dependencies

• Step 1: Add the JitPack repository in your project build.gradle file

allprojects {
	    repositories {
		    ...
		    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
	    }
    }

or

If Android studio version is Arctic Fox or upper then add it in your settings.gradle:

 dependencyResolutionManagement {
    		repositories {
        		...
        		maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    		}
	   }

• Step 2: Add the dependency in your app module build.gradle file

dependencies {
		    ...
	        implementation 'com.github.Mindinventory:ShimmerTextView:x.x.x'
	}

Implementation

• Step 1 : Use custom ShimmerTextView in XML.

    <com.app.shimmertextview.ShimmerTextView
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/text_mi"
        android:textSize="24sp"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@id/ivLeftToRight"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@id/ivLeftToRight"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@id/tvLeftToRight"
        app:shimmer_base_color="@color/dark_red"
        app:shimmer_colored="true"
        app:shimmer_highlight_color="@color/orange"
        android:fontFamily="@font/poppins_bold"
        app:shimmer_duration="3000"
        android:layout_marginHorizontal="16dp"
        android:includeFontPadding="false"/>
  

• Step 2 : Use all attributes dynamically in your.

    class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
        override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
                    
            val textView = findViewById<ShimmerTextView>(R.id.textView)
            textView.setBaseColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.dark_red))
            .setHighLightColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.orange))
            .setDirection(Shimmer.Direction.LEFT_TO_RIGHT)
            .build()
            textView.startShimmer()
        }
    }
