DEPRECATED - ShimmerLayout
Attention: This tool is now deprecated. Please switch to Shimmer for Android or any other shimmer effect solution.
ShimmerLayout can be used to add shimmer effect (like the one used at Facebook or at LinkedIn) to your Android application. Beside memory efficiency even animating a big layout, you can customize the behaviour and look of the animation. Check out the wiki for attributes!
