Android Question Apply shadow to a view (edittext)

[Mike1970]

Hi everyone, i was wondering if there is a way to apply a shadow (like elevation) to a view. At the moment i need to apply it on a edittext, is it possible?


Thanks in advance

I dont know direct answer to that... What I will do is put the edittext in a panel and apply the elevation to the panel
