Can't get button shadows to show up.
Stripped down my code to the minimal example:
activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/main_layout"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp">
<Button
android:id="@+id/my_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:elevation="10dp"
android:translationZ="10dp"
android:background="@android:color/holo_green_light"
android:text="BUTTON"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
I need that layout structure.
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
}
Shadows is visible in Android Studio designer:
But not shown at runtime:
Tested on:
- Genymotion Google Nexus 5X - Marshmallow 6.0.0 - API 23
- Genymotion Google Nexus 5 - Lollipop 5.1.0 - API 22
- Genymotion Samsung Galaxy S2 - Jelly Bean 4.1.1 - API 16
- Hardware device, Samsung Galaxy S5 mini - KitKat 4.4.2 - API 19
All same result.
I'm using:
- Android Studio 2.1.2
- minSdkVersion 16
- targetSdkVersion 24
Please create a new project in Andriod Studio, Empty Activity template, then copy and paste that code into activity_main.xml
and MainActivity.java
so you can test and tell me.
