Remove android.widget.Toolbar shadow

Question

Would like to remove its shadow

Answer 1

Use attribute app:elevation="0dp" to your Toolbar or AppBarLayout to remove the shadow.

#. If you are using Toolbar only, then add attribute app:elevation="0dp" to Toolbar.

#. If you are using AppBarLayout as a container of Toolbar, then add attribute app:elevation="0dp" to AppBarLayout.

UPDATE:

If you want to remove it programmatically then you can use below code:

getSupportActionBar().setElevation(0);
