for some reason my FAB displays no shadow, even though I have set the elevation and the border width to 0, like it was described in many blogs. That should fix the issue. I am placing the fab above the toolbar to get the material design guideline look.
Here is my code:
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<include android:id="@+id/toolbar" layout="@layout/toolbar_extended" />
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="@drawable/ic_navigate"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_marginTop="88dp"
android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"
app:backgroundTint="@color/accent_yellow"
app:borderWidth="0dp"
app:elevation="8dp"
app:pressedTranslationZ="12dp"
app:fabSize="normal"
app:rippleColor="@color/accent_dark_yellow" />
</RelativeLayout>
Toolbar:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
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="116dp"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:elevation="4dp"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:minHeight="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
app:navigationIcon="@drawable/abc_ic_ab_back_mtrl_am_alpha"/>
Change
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
toxmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
