Android Bottom Navigation Bar with drop shadow

I\'m implementing Bottom Navigation Bar in Android app using Google\'s support design library v25.1.0. Is there any way to add drop shadow effect, same as current Android na

Answer 1

For those using Material Component - this has been fixed by com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0-alpha09.

Available since 1.1.0-alpha05 : https://github.com/material-components/material-components-android/releases/tag/1.1.0-alpha05

Use android:elevation="4dp" to set elevation shadow.

Also, do not forget to set clipChildren="false" on your main layout, otherwise, the shadow will be overwritten.
