Shimmer Effect For Android By Using Shimmer Java Library

Shimmer is a java library that provides an easy way to add a shimmer effect to any view in your Android app. It is useful as an unobtrusive loading indicator. It was originally developed for Facebook Home.
Shimmer for Android is implemented as a layout, which means that you can simply nest any view inside a SHIMMER FRAME LAYOUT tag, and call to start the animation from your code. That's all that is required. The layout will use the values you specify either on the tag (using custom attributes) or programmatically in your code, and generate an animation on the fly. See the API reference for further details.
Here's an example of a composite view, consisting of an image and some text below it, that shows the effect in action: 

Firstly We Need To Add The Shimmer Library Dependency

in out build.gradle app level file 

compile 'com.facebook.shimmer:shimmer:0.1.0@aar'

Then We Place Our Complex Layout In The Shimmer Frame Layout 

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<com.facebook.shimmer.ShimmerFrameLayout     

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     

android:id="@+id/shimmer_view_container" 

 android:layout_width="match_parent"     

android:background="#11051b"     

android:layout_height="match_parent">

<LinearLayout        

android:layout_width="match_parent"        

android:orientation="vertical"        

android:layout_height="match_parent">

<TextView     

android:layout_width="wrap_content"     

android:layout_height="wrap_content"     

android:layout_marginTop="100dp" 

android:layout_gravity="center"     

android:textColor="#f44d14"     

android:text="Shimmer Effect"     

android:textSize="30dp"/>

<ImageView            

android:layout_width="100dp"            

android:layout_height="100dp" 

android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher" 

android:layout_marginTop="100dp" 

android:layout_gravity="center"/>

<TextView            

android:layout_width="wrap_content" 

android:layout_height="wrap_content"            

android:layout_marginTop="80dp"            

android:layout_gravity="center"            

android:textColor="#f44d14" 

android:textSize="20dp" 

android:text="Android Gits"/>

</LinearLayout>
</com.facebook.shimmer.ShimmerFrameLayout>

Then We Get Reference Of The Shimmer Frame Layout By Using It ID

and then we start animation for start animation we use the two 

function one for set the duration of the animation and second one

is to autostart the animation 

package android.example.com.shimmereffect;

// created by androidgits.blogspot.in
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

import com.facebook.shimmer.ShimmerFrameLayout;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
TextView text_view;
@Override     

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

ShimmerFrameLayout container =
(ShimmerFrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.shimmer_view_container);
container.setDuration(1700);
container.setAutoStart(true);
//container.startShimmerAnimation();

    }
} 

Finally Run The App And You Will Get The Shimmer Effect
