CardView not showing Shadow in Android L

Question

My Cardview inside Listview is not showing shadow in Android L(Nexus 5). Also the round edges are not properly shown. Here is the code for Listview\'s Adapter View :

Answer 1

Add this line to CardView....

card_view:cardUseCompatPadding="true" //for enable shadow
card_view:cardElevation="9dp" // this for how much shadow you want to show

Tips

You can avoid layout_marginTop and layout_marginBottom as shadow itself takes some space to the up and down of it.The amount space defined by how much you will use in card_view:cardElevation="ndp" .

Happy Coding (:
