Does anyone know how to get a shadow on Android

Questions about Thunkable

Android seems to be missing the shadow feature. It is an issue that affects me because I follow Google’s material design rules to make apps. Material design requires shadows to work properly, which android is missing this feature. I’ve provided an example of material design which would look abnormal without any shadows.

Sorry to bother you but I accidentally set the title to “IOS” instead of “Android”. Do you have any understanding why Android fails to show shadows. Thanks in advance

Hi there,
What’s meant “fails to show shadows”?
It means what shadow setting you have set, but didn’t show it as you imagination?

The shadows only seem to work on iOS, but don’t work on Android for some reason. I’m using Android 9.
