How to Avoid the Shadow Direction of Android 5 Lollipop

Question

I used the material design library for Android to make the tab strip as follows.

At the bottom of the screen, I added a view.

Now I'm trying to add a shadow effect from the top widget to the bottom view.

I found a solution in the form of an answer to this question .

The only way I created the top shadow is to change the source part of the AndroidView v7 CardView project for Android. This project brings the CardView class to older versions of Android and therefore also includes shadow heights. The resulting shadow is very close to the "real" shadow.

I followed the instructions and I ended up with the following result to use the illustration

I added these colors to res/values/values.xml

<color name="cardview_shadow_end_color">#03000000</color>
<color name="cardview_shadow_start_color">#47000000</color>
<dimen name="cardview_compat_inset_shadow">1dp</dimen>

RoundRectDrawableWithShadow Android v7 CardView Android,

float elevation = 200;
float density = 0.1f;
View bottomView = (View) rootView.findViewById(R.id.bottomView);
    bottomView.setBackgroundDrawable(new RoundRectDrawableWithShadow(
    getResources(), Color.BLACK, 0,
    elevation * density, ((elevation + 1) * density) + 1
));
