What is elevation doing in Android L?

android, android-5.0-lollipop, android-elevation

Solution

I kinda solved it. The problem was the emulator. We now have ordered a Nexus 5 and flashed Android L. Now it works fine

Problem

Today I developed my first Android L Apps, and read through the d.android.com/preview tips. They said that android:elevation would show me shadows. But look at this: ``` <TextView android:id="@+id/tvTest5" android:layout_width="50dp" android:layout_height="50dp" android:layout_below="@id/btnTest1" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/tvTest4" android:layout_marginLeft="10dp" android:background="#000000" android:elevation="50dp"/> ``` I don't see any shadow in my Emulator. Am I doing something wrong or is the Emulator buggy? I'm using Android Studio
