For Android 5.0, if you want to set it directly into a style use: <item name="android:elevation">0dp</item>
and for Support library compatibility use: <item name="elevation">0dp</item>
Example of style for a AppCompat light theme: <style name="Theme.MyApp.ActionBar" parent="style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<!-- remove shadow below action bar -->
<!-- <item name="android:elevation">0dp</item> -->
<!-- Support library compatibility -->
<item name="elevation">0dp</item>
</style>
Then apply this custom ActionBar style to you app theme: <style name="Theme.MyApp" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="actionBarStyle">@style/Theme.MyApp.ActionBar</item>
<item name="actionBarSize">@dimen/actionbar_size</item> </style>
For pre 5.0 Android, add this too to your app theme: <!-- Remove shadow below action bar Android < 5.0 -->
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item> 或者
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/appbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:elevation="0dp"
android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
