android-elevation

For some reason the elevation attribute does not seem to be working on the new TabLayout in the material design support library. Any ideas? XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical"> <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout android:id="@+id/tab_layout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize" android:elevation="6dp" /> <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager android:id="@+id/view

This question was asked on SO many times, but still I didn't find a good solution for this problem. Why do I need this to do? Well because project me and my team develops has iOS style. What did I try? 9.pathch shadow generator but 9.pathes are essentially pngs and it gives me no flexibility and if I'll use this approach I should edit margins everywhere. Carbon library it supports custom shadows and they get drawn outside of view borders, but there is issue regarding rounded rectangles, when library doesn't draw shadow for rounded corners. using old CardView implementation and overriding its

Hi i need add shadow under my tab layout (like in skype). My activity xml: <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:local="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:id="@+id/toolbar" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize" android:background="@color/splashGreenTop" local:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" local:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" /> <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout

I'm trying to use "android: elevation =" in my application but once I run it does not appear in the device with android 4.1.2 gradle apply plugin: 'com.android.application' android { compileSdkVersion 21 buildToolsVersion "21.1.2" defaultConfig { applicationId "com.example.alvaro.proyectocaronte" minSdkVersion 14 targetSdkVersion 21 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } } } dependencies { compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) compile 'com.android.support

I use a framelayout at the bottom of an activity, in order to show the shadow effects on the fragment, I add android:elevation. But the shadow effects only appear in the bottom side not on top side, any one could give me some advice? <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/bottom_container" android:background="#00737f" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="50dp" android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:elevation="4dp" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_marginBottom="50dp"/> There is a trick that can be used to display a shadow above a View. Basically we have to

From what I understand, early in the preview stage there seemed to be no way to set elevation in XML only on CardView s without a hack in Java. Now that the official release is out, is there any way of doing this in XML without writing Java code to set elevation? I have tried card_view:cardElevation to no effect. I had thought when I was using the emulators for 5.0 everything was fine.

Here is my full xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <android.support.v7

This is a simple question: I use the new support library, which allows me to have a Toolbar instance and even set it as the actionBar of the activity (or use the default one). How do I customize the shadow being cast by the Toolbar (or the default ActionBar) ? I've tried to use "setElevation" (on both of them), but it didn't seem to do anything on Android Lollipop. Also, I can't find how to customize the shadow on pre-Lollipop versions. Is there maybe an API for this? or at least a drawable (I didn't find, even though I've tried) ? OK, I've managed to find the next things: For both Lollipop
