## Features / Usage

1. Loader View for TextView defined in layout XML
    ```xml
    <com.elyeproj.loaderviewlibrary.LoaderTextView
         android:layout_width="match_parent"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
    ```

2. Loader View for ImageView defined in layout XML
    ```xml
    <com.elyeproj.loaderviewlibrary.LoaderImageView
         android:layout_width="100dp"
         android:layout_height="100dp" />
    ```

3. Define the % width of the TextView that shows the loading animation with `width_weight`
    ```xml
    <com.elyeproj.loaderviewlibrary.LoaderTextView
         android:layout_width="match_parent"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         app:width_weight="0.4" />
    ```

4. Define the % height of the TextView that shows the loading animation with `height_weight`
    ```xml
    <com.elyeproj.loaderviewlibrary.LoaderTextView
         android:layout_width="match_parent"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         app:height_weight="0.8" />
    ```

5. Define use gradient of the TextView or ImageView that shows the gradient with `use_gradient`
    ```xml
    <com.elyeproj.loaderviewlibrary.LoaderTextView
         android:layout_width="match_parent"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         app:use_gradient="true" />
    ```

6. Setting the Text Style as BOLD would darken the loading shimmer

7. Other feature of TextView and ImageView is still applicable.

8. Reset and show shimmer (animation loader) again by calling the below API
    ```java
    myLoaderTextView.resetLoader();
    myLoaderImageView.resetLoader();
    ```

## Requirement
Android SDK API Version 16 and above.

## Importing the Library
On your module `build.gradle`, add

    dependencies {
        compile 'com.elyeproj.libraries:loaderviewlibrary:1.2.1'
    }

## What's new in 1.2.1
1. Add ability to reset loaderShimmer as per point 8 in Feature section
2. Fix bugs related to orientation changes (gradient width not resized and shimmer non-stop animating)
