Question

I am developing an app for Card View.Implement two features of card view "setRadius()" and "setElevation()" .It is working fine in Android L.

But when I run the app in API 19 (KitKat) , card view setElevation() getting an error

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: android.view.View.setElevation"

Can any one please help me to make this app compatible to all version.

possible duplicated. Android AppCompat 21 Elevation

Basically setElevation from ViewCompat won't even work.

is there any possible way for Elevation shadow effect in android lower version – Binil Surendran May 06 '15 at 05:44
Hi Binil, I don't think the pre-Lollipop view's has the elevation attributes. Even the method is there, it will just simply ignored. The only way as mentioned in the link is to use shapes instead. Thanks. – WenChao May 06 '15 at 09:46

Take a look at the docs for setElevation and you can see that it was added in API 21 (which is Lollipop).

You can, however, use the ViewCompat library's version of setElevation, and then it should work on lower API levels.
