title: Android Vertical Shimmer
body: <p>While navigating through <a href="https://material.io/design/motion/understanding-motion.html#principles" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Android Material Components</a>, I came across this list loading animation.</p>

  <p>I know a few libraries (e.g.<a href="https://github.com/team-supercharge/ShimmerLayout" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ShimmerLayout</a>, Facebook's <a href="https://github.com/facebook/shimmer-android" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Shimmer</a>) which have horizontal loading animation. But it is not as smooth since it just renders the UI in a flash once you get the data.
  If you look at the animation in the video, it actually displays vertical shimmer and renders response one by one.
  I was wondering how can we achieve this effect.</p>
