PlaceHolderRecyclerView¶

A RecyclerView that can switch between items and placeholders.
This libs doesn’t force a placehoder type, the developer is responsible for creating one, checkout the sample module and see how simple it is.

You can use the best beloved Shimmer-Android, a Lottie animation or even Property Animation. Use your imagination, it’s your placeholder 😊
