When I try to set a specific value to elevation for AppBarLayout, the shadow disappears completely.
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:elevation="4dp">
<!-- Toolbar -->
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar...
<!-- Other Layouts -->
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
Is this a bug or the expected behaviour?
I'm using the version 26.0.0 of the design library.
Setting Property Animation
Creating an animation with 1ms of execution time:/animator/appbar_elevation.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<objectAnimator
android:duration="1"
android:propertyName="elevation"
android:valueTo="2dp"
android:valueType="floatType" />
</item>
</selector>
Setting it to AppBarLayout
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:stateListAnimator="@animator/appbar_elevation">
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
And it can use in java code.
appBarLayout.setStateListAnimator(AnimatorInflater.loadStateListAnimator(getContext(), R.animator.appbar_elevation));
Work for me:
ViewCompat.setElevation(appBarLayout, getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.toolbar_elevation));
