Property name Default Description
ms9_shadowTranslationZ 0dp Compatibility version of android:translationZ
ms9_shadowElevation 0dp Compatibility version of android:elevation
ms9_forceUseCompatShadow false Enforces to use compatibility shadow on Lollipop or later
ms9_affectsDisplayedPosition true Specify whether the shadow position is affected by the target view's position (emulates Lollipop's behavior)
app:ms9_useAmbientShadow true Specify whether to use ambient shadow
app:ms9_useSpotShadow true Specify whether to use spot shadow
ms9_spotShadowDrawablesList @array/ms9_spot_shadow_drawables Specify Spot shadow (Key shadow) 9-patch resources
ms9_ambientShadowDrawablesList @array/ms9_ambient_shadow_drawables Specify Ambient shadow 9-patch resources
Style name
ms9_DefaultShadowStyle([ Z6 or Z9 orZ18 ]) Default style (uses spot & ambient shadow, position affects)
ms9_DefaultShadowStyle([ Z6 or Z9 or Z18 ])CompatOnly Default style with ms9_forceUseCompatShadow="true"
ms9_NoDisplayedPositionAffectShadowStyle([ Z6 or Z9 or Z18 ]) No displayed position affects style
ms9_NoDisplayedPositionAffectShadowStyle([ Z6 or Z9 or Z18 ])CompatOnly No displayed position affects style with ms9_forceUseCompatShadow="true"
ms9_CompositeShadowStyle([ Z6 or Z9 ]) Pre-composite shadow style (less overdraws)
ms9_CompositeShadowStyle([ Z6 or Z9 ])CompatOnly Pre-composite shadow style with ms9_forceUseCompatShadow="true"

NOTE: You can specify Z[6|9|18] suffix for style names. This limits the deepest limit of shadow nine patch resources and it makes resource shrinking (shrinkResources true) work more effectively!
