If you need finer control of a view’s shadow, you can set a ViewOutlineProvider which can customise the Outline in getOutline(). For example if you set a circular shape drawable as the background for a floating action button, then it would cast an appropriate shadow. The shadow a view casts is defined by its outline, which by default is derived from its background. You can also set this from code using getElevation()/setElevation() (with shims in ViewCompat). You can set the elevation declaratively in your layouts, defined in dips: The new elevation property lets you specify a view’s position on the Z-axis and the framework then casts a real-time dynamic shadow on items behind it. ShadowsĪ surface’s position and depth result in subtle changes in lighting and shadows. This digital material can move, expand and reform to create flexible UIs. The surfaces and the shadows they cast provide visual cues to the structure of the application, what you can touch and how it will move. In material design, UIs are composed of pieces of digital paper & ink. Here’s a rundown of some of the major elements of material design and the APIs and widgets that you can use to implement them in your app.
