RecyclerViewDummyData

A library to show items loading effect in RecyclerView

Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file

allprojects {
	  repositories {
		  ...
		  maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
  }

Step 2. Add the dependency

dependencies {
      ...
      implementation 'com.github.vsnappy1:RecyclerViewDummyData:1.1.2

}

Step 3. Create an instance of RecyclerViewDummyData and call loadDummyData method and pass in the Context and RecyclerView instance

e.g.

    // Create an instance of RecyclerViewDummyData with the Builder class
    recyclerViewDummyData = RecyclerViewDummyData.Builder()
        .setDummyViewResourceId(R.layout.item_product_dummy)	// set the dummy layout resource id
        .setAnimationType(AnimationType.SHIMMER)		// Optional you can select between different animation types, default value is AnimationType.FADE_IN_FADE_OUT
        .build()						// This builds the RecyclerViewDummyData instance with given configuration

    // This populates the recycler view with dummy data
    recyclerViewDummyData?.loadDummyData(this, recyclerView)
    ...
    ...
    // Once data is fetched from server set adapter property of recycler view to orignal adapter
    recyclerView.adapter = productAdapter

Note.

RecyclerViewDummyData is highly customizable you can customize it in many ways, checkout below few examples

e.g.

    // This create an instance of RecyclerViewDummyData with given dummy layout resource id, and its the simpletest one with all default configuration
    recyclerViewDummyData = RecyclerViewDummyData.Builder()
        .setDummyViewResourceId(R.layout.item_product_dummy)
        .build()


    // This create an instance of RecyclerViewDummyData with given dummy layout resource id and animation type as SHIMMER
    recyclerViewDummyData = RecyclerViewDummyData.Builder()
        .setDummyViewResourceId(R.layout.item_product_dummy)
        .setAnimationType(AnimationType.SHIMMER)
        .build()
    
    
    // This create an instance of RecyclerViewDummyData with given dummy layout resource id and the custom animation
    recyclerViewDummyData = RecyclerViewDummyData.Builder()
        .setDummyViewResourceId(R.layout.item_product_dummy)
        .setCustomAnimationResourceId(R.anim.translate_fade_anim)
        .build()
    
    
    // This create an instance of RecyclerViewDummyData with given dummy layout resource id, custom animation, itemCount as 4 and animation speed as 5
    recyclerViewDummyData = RecyclerViewDummyData.Builder()
        .setDummyViewResourceId(R.layout.item_product_dummy)
        .setAnimationType(AnimationType.SHIMMER)
        .setItemCount(4)		
        .setAnimationSpeed(5f)
        .build()

Troubleshot.

If you are unable to see the dummy data or the animation effect, check the logs with a tag of 'RecyclerViewDummyData' hopefully you will find the cause and solve the pronlem

e.g.

    D/RecyclerViewDummyData: ERROR: No custom animation resource id provided
