Attributes

Remarks

Sets the color of the ambient shadow that is drawn when the RenderNode has a positive Z or elevation value and is drawn inside of a Canvas#enableZ() section.

By default the shadow color is black. Generally, this color will be opaque so the intensity of the shadow is consistent between different RenderNodes with different colors.

The opacity of the final ambient shadow is a function of the shadow caster height, the alpha channel of the outlineAmbientShadowColor (typically opaque), and the android.R.attr#ambientShadowAlpha theme attribute.
