Android

  • Edit android/settings.gradle to look like this (without the +):
rootProject.name = 'MyApp'
 
include ':app'
 
+ include ':react-native-shimmer'
+ project(':react-native-shimmer').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-shimmer/android')
  • Edit android/app/build.gradle (note: app folder) to look like this:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
 
android {
  ...
}
 
dependencies {
  compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
  compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1"
  compile "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"  // From node_modules
+ compile project(':react-native-shimmer')
}
  • Edit your MainApplication.java (deep in android/app/src/main/java/...) to look like this (note two places to edit):
package com.myapp;
 
+ import com.oblador.shimmer.RNShimmerPackage;
 
....
 
  @Override
  protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
    return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
      new MainReactPackage()
+   , new RNShimmerPackage()
    );
  }
 
}
