CardView Not Showing Shadow In Android L


Answer :

After going through the docs again, I finally found the solution.

Just add card_view:cardUseCompatPadding="true" to your CardView and shadows will appear on Lollipop devices.

What happens is, the content area in a CardView take different sizes on pre-lollipop and lollipop devices. So in lollipop devices the shadow is actually covered by the card so its not visible. By adding this attribute the content area remains the same across all devices and the shadow becomes visible.

My xml code is like :

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView     android:id="@+id/media_card_view"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="130dp"     card_view:cardBackgroundColor="@android:color/white"     card_view:cardElevation="2dp"     card_view:cardUseCompatPadding="true"     > ... </android.support.v7.widget.CardView> 

Do not forget that to draw shadow you must use hardwareAccelerated drawing

hardwareAccelerated = true

enter image description here

hardwareAccelerated = false

hardwareAccelerated CardView

See Android Hardware Acceleration for details


use app:cardUseCompatPadding="true" inside your cardview. For Example

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView         android:id="@+id/card_view"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="match_parent"         android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/cardviewMarginRight"         app:cardBackgroundColor="@color/menudetailsbgcolor"         app:cardCornerRadius="@dimen/cardCornerRadius"         app:cardUseCompatPadding="true"         app:elevation="0dp">     </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
