Android - shadow effect below rectangle

Question

I would like to create a shadow effect as in picture

Tried multiple options saw in stack overflow. None of them worked.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Answer 1

The easiest way to approach this is by creating any type of view and give it a background designed as black fill with the gradient property, like explained here:

And then place this view on top of the original image, overlapping it.
