Android Question Problem with getting rid of theme-set elevation

[kostefar]

Dear All,

If I choose

SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@android:style/Theme.Holo")

for my project, I get the below:

Which is good except for one little thing: The clicked items text does not change as per the below:

Made using

SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@android:style/Theme.Material")

Which however has another problem: The elevation (shadow). I tried:

SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@android:style/Theme.Material")
CreateResource(values-v21, theme.xml,
<resources>
  <style
  name="AppTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Material">
     <item name="android:elevation">0dp</item>
    </style>

in the manifest, but the elevation stays. Any idea how to get rid of this?

Thanks in advance!

Don't set the theme to Theme.Holo. Your app will look old. Don't set the theme at all so the default one will be used.

Which shadow do you want to remove? The one under the action bar?
