why android lollipop modifies my styles?

I have app and work with this configuration.

compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion '23.0.2'
minSdkVersion 19
targetSdkVersion 23

In kitkat work fine but in lollipop not respect all styles. For example

Kitkat / Lollipop

Kitkat -- > Lollipop

how i can avoid this problem?

Solution

  • Well, those Components are working on +21 API (with shadows or ripples) I mean, it's working, but not with those beautiful styles.

    Refer to following question:

    Material Design and appcompat not working on older API versions

    And for getting what you exactly expect with both Kitkat and Lollipop or -, i'd rather to use Material Design Libraries for those Shadows or ripples.

    And that makes for different APIs like Kitkat and Lollipop sense.

    hope that helps.
