CardView not showing Shadow in Android L

Question

My Cardview inside Listview is not showing shadow in Android L(Nexus 5). Also the round edges are not properly shown. Here is the code for Listview's Adapter View :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.example.myapp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
    xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/card_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:cardBackgroundColor="@android:color/white"
    android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
    app:cardCornerRadius="4dp"
    app:cardElevation="4dp" >

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
        android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" >

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tvName"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/padding_small"
            android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
            android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/ivPicture"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_below="@+id/tvName"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
            android:scaleType="fitCenter" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tvDetail"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_below="@+id/ivPicture"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
            android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
            android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" />
    </RelativeLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

And the ListView xml :

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.example.myapp"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="@drawable/app_bg" >

<ListView
    android:id="@android:id/list"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:cacheColorHint="#00000000"
    android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
    android:drawSelectorOnTop="true"
    android:smoothScrollbar="true" />

<ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/progressBarMain"
    style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleLarge"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    android:visibility="gone" /></RelativeLayout>

It works fine on pre-L devices with proper shadow and rounded corners. But not working aon Android L device. Can you tell what i am missing here?

Answer 1

Add android:hardwareAccelerated="true" in your manifests file like below it works for me

 <activity
        android:name=".activity.MyCardViewActivity"
        android:hardwareAccelerated="true"></activity>

Answer 2

use app:cardUseCompatPadding="true" inside your cardview. For Example

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
        android:id="@+id/card_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/cardviewMarginRight"
        app:cardBackgroundColor="@color/menudetailsbgcolor"
        app:cardCornerRadius="@dimen/cardCornerRadius"
        app:cardUseCompatPadding="true"
        app:elevation="0dp">
    </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
