ShimmerRecyclerView
ShimmerRecyclerView is an Android library used to render animated loading placeholders within RecyclerView lists. It provides a custom view wrapper that applies shimmer masking and animations to child elements, serving as a visual loading indicator while background data is being fetched.
The library enables the implementation of skeleton screens that mimic the layout of list items. These effects are customizable, allowing for adjustments to the animation color, angle, line width, and direction to align with specific visual branding.
The system includes capabilities for shimmer rendering and masking control, which determines whether animations apply to an entire item or only to child elements with non-transparent backgrounds.
