Shimmer Getting Stopped Inside RecyclerView When Scrolling

[thatsenam]

Hello, Shimmer works like a charm in my project but there's a little problem. as i am using shimmer inside my recyclerview its getting stopped animating when i scrolled :(

A simple video of that problem -> Video_Of_Stopping Shimmer [20 Sec]

Note: I applied shimmer in nested recyclerview. Here's my snippet(for simplicity i just added meaningful code).

Inside MyAdapter

public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
......................................
 switch (holder.getItemViewType()) {
 case ViewType.LATEST_MOVIE:
                final LatestMovieViewHolder latestMovieViewHolder = (LatestMovieViewHolder) holder;
                latestMovieViewHolder.titleMovie.setText("Latest Movie");
                latestMovieViewHolder.shimmerFrameLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                latestMovieViewHolder.shimmerFrameLayout.startShimmerAnimation();
                latestMovieViewHolder.sectionRecylerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(context, OrientationHelper.HORIZONTAL, false));
                latestMovieViewHolder.sectionRecylerView.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
                RetrofitRequestAPI retrofitRequestAPI = MyRetrofit.getRetrofitInstance().create(RetrofitRequestAPI.class);
                Call<List<Movie>> requestObject = retrofitRequestAPI.getMoviesInTheater();
                requestObject.enqueue(new Callback<List<Movie>>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onResponse(Call<List<Movie>> call, Response<List<Movie>> response) {
                        if (response.body() != null) {
                            latestMovieViewHolder.shimmerFrameLayout.stopShimmerAnimation();
                            latestMovieViewHolder.sectionRecylerView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                            latestMovieViewHolder.shimmerFrameLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                            latestMovieViewHolder.sectionRecylerView.setAdapter(new SectionAdapter(context, response.body()));
                        }
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onFailure(Call<List<Movie>> call, Throwable t) {
                        Toast.makeText(context, t.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    }
                });
                break;
............................`

**And here XML** 

`

        android:visibility="gone">
        <LinearLayout

</LinearLayout>

Maybe you should freeze recyclerview until your data loaded. Call setLayoutFrozen(true)

I'm not immediately sure what is going wrong from a first glance. The project was recently rewritten entirely so it's likely that this issue may not exist with the new version. I'll look into releasing it soon.

@xiphirx When the newer version will be released??

[xiphirx]

0.2.0 was just uploaded to sonatype, it will take a bit to propagate to jcenter/maven central.

Still not working for me (even with version 0.2.0) @xiphirx

[xiphirx]

Please open a new issue with code that reproduces the issue.
