How to remove ActionBar shadow?

Question

I'm trying to remove ActionBar shadow that appears in this image:

Since now I've tried to add these lines in my xml theme:

 <style name="AppTheme.PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" >
    <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
</style>

And do it programmatically like this:

getSupportActionBar().setElevation(0);

as posted here.

But nothing is working for me...

My device is using last version of Android. Any idea on why is not working?

Add this property to your Toolbar or AppBarLayout (I don't know if you are using AppBarLayout):

app:elevation="0dp"

That was it! I had to add it into the `AppBarLayout`. Thanks a lot! – Sonhja Nov 24 '15 at 17:55

Try using

<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">
....
</style>

<style name="NoActionBarShadowTheme" parent="AppTheme">
    <item name="windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
    <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
</style>

And in manifest

<activity
    android:theme="@style/NoActionBarShadowTheme"

And if you are using material design,try setting your toolbar elevation to 0dp.
