How to remove default shadow in ListItemPresenter in android TV - android

how to remove the default black shadow (black shadow or each corners) in ListItemPresenter,
attaching image of presenter view
here is xml of the item presenter:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
app:cardCornerRadius="16dp"
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="200dp">
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
app:cardCornerRadius="8dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_margin="8dp">
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/block_bg_state"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical">
...
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
</LinearLayout>

If you don't want a shadow, then you don't need to use a CardView. It's meant as a "wrapper" to add elevation (a shadow) and rounded corners to the view it holds.
If this is your complete layout, you can also remove the LinearLayout and add the layout width/height directly to your ConstraintLayout.

Android CardView shadow gets cut off

Shadows seem to cut off on some of my CardView usages.
Any idea why? looks like removing the padding on the parent resolves the issue, but I do want the padding. And I don't want to use margin on the inner card, because there are other views aligned and I prefer having the padding set on the parent to apply to all children
Any solutions?

Removing the extra top space in CoordinatorLayout- Android

I am trying to use BottomSheetBehavior to make a layout similar to what google maps is providing. I am successful in using the BottomSheetBehavior and create slide up layout. The problem I am having now is CordinatorLayout takes extra space even when my layout is collapsed.
Below is a screenshot of my layout.
White background in my main activity layout
Pink is my collapsed layout with peekHeight
And the grey background is the one which should be transparent but takes the extra space.
My main layout file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<include layout="#layout/sample_coordinator" />
</FrameLayout>
CordinatorLayout with BottomSheetBehavior
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/common_google_signin_btn_text_light_disabled">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:behavior_hideable="false"
app:layout_behavior="com.google.android.material.bottomsheet.BottomSheetBehavior">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="250dp"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary" />
</FrameLayout>
You have to use CoordinatorLayout in your activity layout.
Then in your bottom sheet layout insert these lines:
app:behavior_hideable="true"
app:behavior_peekHeight="Xdp"

Align FrameLayout inside ConstraintLayout to bottom

I want a layout above recycler view at the bottom of the screen,(like a frame) so that even when that layout is visible I can still scroll recycler view behind it. So I want to align the frame layout at the bottom of the screen and make it visible and invisible as per requirement. Here is my code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.protossoft.root.aesencryption.MainActivity">
<ListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/listView"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</ListView>
<!-- <RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">-->
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="0dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="443dp">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/deviceNumberImage"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.2"
android:src="#android:drawable/btn_default" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/deviceNumber"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.8"
android:text="990000862471854" />
</LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>
<!-- </RelativeLayout>-->
I don't have too much of idea about constraint layout, but when I am moving the view at the bottom from the editor, it is using property like
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="0dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="443dp"
I want to achieve the same with some property like align_parentBottom. But none of the properties is available for use. What do I need to do so that the frame layout is visible at the bottom and on the top of recycler view at the same time?
Thanks :)
I want to achieve the same with some property like align_parentBottom.
You should use app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent" attribute.
Here's the setup that you need:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent">
...
</FrameLayout>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

Making CardView width match parent even when elevation > 0

I wanted a cardview similar to this:
I wanted my CardView separated like that. The problem is, I don't know how to make CardView go edge to edge or match the width of the CardView to its parent. If I put shadows or setting the elevation at 4dp/8dp, the entire CardView adjusts to show the shadows on both end. Which is not what I want. This is worse when viewed on pre-lollipop.
I am believing this is just thick line separating it which can be done creating custom view with a custom drawable. But can this be done with just CardViews? I need my CardViews to go to the most edge and show separation at the bottom.
Here is my current layout. I created a separate layout file for each CardViews and included them in my fragment like this:
<LinearLayout
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"
android:fillViewport="false"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:context="com.neonwarge.android.notifire.activity.TaskActivity"
android:orientation="vertical">
<include
layout="#layout/cardview1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<include
layout="#layout/cardview2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
....
</LinearLayout>
And here is what generally a CardView looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<merge
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:cardCornerRadius="4dp"
app:cardElevation="4dp"
app:cardUseCompatPadding="true"
app:cardPreventCornerOverlap="false">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingStart="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingEnd="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin">
...
</RelativeLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
</merge>

Two views with same elevation side-by-side

I have two views with the same elevation beside each other. My wanted behaviour is that they won't cast a shadow over each other as they have the same elevation, however, what is happening is that the view on the left, casts a shadow on the right. They are not the same size so I can't put them both in another view and apply an elevation to that view.
Is this the expected behaviour? Is there a way round it?
Edit:
I just recreated with simpler views, here is the code.
I also noticed it has the expected behaviour if I have the view directly in the layout and don't include it as I did it in this example and as I need it to work.
<LinearLayout
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"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context=".MainActivity"
android:background="#android:color/holo_green_dark">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:background="#android:color/holo_red_dark"
android:elevation="24dp"/>
<include layout="#layout/test"/>
</LinearLayout>
And here is the include:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:background="#android:color/holo_red_dark"
android:elevation="24dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
And the screenshot:
See the hierarchy you have:
So you have applied elevation to 1 and 3, which are not siblings. Apparently, if one view is higher in the hierarchy, than it should cast a shadow, regardless those views have same elevation or no.
Had you applied elevation to 2 instead of 3 you would not see shadow effect.
So if you just change your test.xml to this:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:elevation="24dp">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:background="#android:color/holo_red_dark"/>
</LinearLayout>
You'd get this output:
