Android : Android: Appcompat 21 how to add shadow on actionbar

on Monday, November 3, 2014


I add the new material design actionbar from the new appcompat and I use the new toolbar widget. I set a custom background on the toolbar on xml but my problem is that the drop shadow from the actionbar is not displayed. Do you know how to do this?


Toolbar code



<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/my_awesome_toolbar"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="@drawable/ab_background_textured"
app:theme="@style/MyTheme"
app:popupTheme="@style/MyTheme.Popup"/>


MyTheme style



<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/abc_primary_text_material_dark</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">@color/abc_primary_text_material_dark</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#ffff8800</item>
</style>


MyTheme.Popup style



<style name="MyTheme.Popup" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark">
<item name="android:textColor">#ffffff</item>
</style>
