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

In my case the shadow was not showing on Android L devices because I did not add a margin. The problem is that the CardView creates this margin automatically on <5 devices so now I do it like this:

CardView card = new CardView(context);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
        LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
if (Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP == Build.VERSION.SDK_INT) {
    params.setMargins(shadowSize, shadowSize, shadowSize,
            shadowSize);
} else {
    card.setMaxCardElevation(shadowSize);
}
card.setCardElevation(shadowSize);
card.setLayoutParams(params);
