Answer 1

Go to the activity you want to remove the ActionBar's Elevation. Before setContent(....), request the ActionBar feature(That is if you have not declared it directly)

    getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR);
    getSupportActionBar().setElevation(0);

or else just call the declared Toolbar variable e.g toolbar.setElevation(0);
