How to Create a Shimmer Loading Effect in Jetpack Compose (WITHOUT Library!)

Can we do it in xml without compose and without use of any library?

Exist an api that can make awesome texts with 2 colors etc...?

The one and only a professional developer who does not wear any spec to write code!!

Perfect! Thanks Philipp.

I tried your code in my project, gradient is coming but not animating. I tried executing your code and tried replacing your code with my code , it's working there. Any idea what could be the issue?

Thanks Philipp Lackner I just adapted it to my project and it looks like awesome 😁

Man, that`s wonderfull! Thank you!

Is it possible to detect the size of contentAfterLoading sub-conponent , iterate it and auto generate the shimmer effect box for that ?

so complicated
I prefer doing that with a library

Can u create content that is more beginner friendly as well?

fun Modifier.shimmerEffect(speed:Int = 1100) : Modifier = composed {

var size by remember { mutableStateOf(IntSize.Zero) }

val translation = rememberInfiniteTransition()

val startOffsetX by translation.animateFloat(
initialValue = -2 * size.width.toFloat(),
targetValue = 2 * size.width.toFloat(),
animationSpec = infiniteRepeatable(animation = tween(speed))
)

background(
brush = Brush.linearGradient(
colors = listOf(
Color(0xFFB8B5B5),
Color(0xFF8B8A8A),
Color(0xFFB8B5B5)
),
start = Offset ( x = startOffsetX , y = 0f ),
end = Offset ( x = startOffsetX + size.width.toFloat() , y = size.height.toFloat() )
)
).onGloballyPositioned {
size = it.size
}

}

Phillip you are the best!! Thank you!! It is great tutorial like all yours tutorials !!

Very interesting.
Just wondering if it's really performant to use the background modifier and offset.
What's about to replace with drawBehind and offset lambdas? Can it skip the measure phase?
Sorry if I'm wrong, still learning Compose (Learned a lot from you)

Anyway thank you for this tutorial, great job. Can now create custom modifiers

Great content man.
What theme are you using in AS?

This guy is amazing

Thanks 🙏🙏🙏

When you make a video about chatGPT and its thread to android developers?

one android tv app with exoplayer tutorial plz

Thank you bro

I think, in compose we shouldn't rely on libraries. Compose let's us customize manage view easily. It is not Xml anymore

hey Philipp thanks for great video! :) btw do you still you twitter if so drop you link pls

Thanks a lot :-)

Hi man , Can we get any tutorial about activity tracking ?

do you believe that xml is going to be deprecated in the next five years?

This removes my accompanist dependency. Cheers ❤

thanks, you're videos keep me up to date with the absolutely necessary information not like google IO which shows a lot of unnecessary information.

Cooollll Philips, i directly to implement to my own project , thanks a lot.

Good stuff
