how can i change the colour of the shimmer light about shimmer-android

[mecoFarid]

This issue should be reopened, I guess, or I'm missing out something. Trying to have a shimmer highlight with a different color rather than highlight with alpha.

Setting both app:shimmer_colored="true" and app:shimmer_highlight_color="@color/colorAccent" removes shimmer effect from children (shimmer applied to parent only).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.facebook.shimmer.ShimmerFrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/shimmer_loader_view"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:shimmer_colored="true"
    app:shimmer_highlight_color="@color/colorAccent"
    app:shimmer_duration="1500">

                <Parent>
                     <Child>
                     <Child>
                     <Child>
                </Parent>

</com.facebook.shimmer.ShimmerFrameLayout>

I would also like to set the color/alpha of the shimmer. To arrive at less than pure white, I currently have reduce the alpha of the whole view, which is not efficient

I also have this problem

[oth-libs]

why do views inside the layout have alpha already? how can I have the views with the correct color?

using app:shimmer_highlight_alpha="0" resolved the issue for me.

<com.facebook.shimmer.ShimmerFrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/shimmer"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    app:shimmer_highlight_alpha="0">

            <Parent>
                 <Child>
                 <Child>
                 <Child>
            </Parent>

</com.facebook.shimmer.ShimmerFrameLayout>

@mecoFarid solution works for me...
Issue fixed by using these two attributes.
app:shimmer_colored="true"
app:shimmer_highlight_color="@color/colorAccent"
