Answer 1

try this :: app:backgroundTint="@color/colorAccentGrey"

where colorAccentGrey = YourColor

and put xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" at the beginning of the XML if you forggt,

and for Remove shadow :: app:elevation="0dp"

Hope this will help you.. :)

Answer 2

I think you have 2 options:

1. as @Uttam said, change the elevation of the FAB widget
2. to make a custom design and embed it as an image in your layout as shown here http://androidgifts.com/android-material-design-floating-action-button-tutorial/

Answer 3

None of the answer worked for me. So i worked this. anyhow it will give shadow like effect that enough for me

<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_add_black"
        app:elevation="0dp" // disable outside shawdow
        app:borderWidth="30dp" // make borderwidth to 25dp or height of fab
        app:backgroundTint="#00E5FF" // now you will see only this color with shawdow 
        android:backgroundTint="#00E5FF" // since border is 30dp u ll not see this color and if you want to check reduce border width to 25dp then ull see this color in center as a small dot.
        />

Answer 4

A simple solution is to remove the stroke(border-width), the default value is 0.5dp change it to 0dp, that is

app:borderWidth="0dp"

Refer Regular and mini FAB key properties in Material Design documentation!
