So I've been trying to style a CalendarView component with some custom styling in Android Studio, but I'm having a weird issue that I can't find an answer to.
I'm using a shape in order to make the CalendarViews background card have rounded corners, but for some reason does the elevation drop-shadow still display as squared. (see image) This issue is visible in Android Studio, on an emulator or on a real device. Therefore it seems like I'm missing something but I don't understand what the could be.
I would be greatful for any help on this issue, thanks in advance!
Here's my shape-related code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="@color/colorForeground" />
<corners android:radius="10dp" />
</shape>
And here is my layout XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<CalendarView
android:id="@+id/calendarView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="24dp"
android:layout_marginTop="24dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="24dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="24dp"
android:background="@drawable/card_background"
android:elevation="5dp" />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
Wrap the CalendarView
in a CardView
instead of a LinearLayout
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
app:cardCornerRadius="10dp"
app:cardElevation="5dp"
..>
<CalendarView
android:id="@+id/calendarView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/card_background"/>
</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
