REQUEST Settings Cardview Shadow ?

[blackestflag]

Hey guys, just trying to cleanup some yuckiness from a Smarters v4 Settings page

Not sure where this shadow and nasty square box is coming from in the background, around my boxes, but it's driving me nuts
I've tried to change the elevation on the androidx.cardview.widget.CardView line, but that just makes things worse

Any ideas ?
I can supply the xml's if that helps any

I'm certain some of you have dealt with this before, so any advice is appreciated

I sorted it out

BEFORE the activity_settings_tv.xml cardView entry was

<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
                            android:id="@id/rl_general_settings_card"
                            android:tag="11"
                            android:focusable="true"
                            android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
                            android:layout_width="0.0dip"
                            android:layout_height="160.0sp"
                            android:layout_weight="1.0"
                            app1:cardBackgroundColor="@android:color/transparent"
                            app1:cardCornerRadius="1.0dip"
                            app1:cardElevation="10.0dip"
                            app1:cardUseCompatPadding="true">

AFTER

<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
                            android:id="@id/rl_general_settings_card"
                            android:layout_width="0.0dip"
                            android:layout_height="135.0sp"
                            android:layout_weight="1.0"
                            android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
                            android:focusable="true"
                            android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
                            android:tag="11"
                            app1:cardBackgroundColor="@android:color/transparent"
                            app1:cardCornerRadius="0dp"
                            app1:cardElevation="0dp"
                            app1:cardUseCompatPadding="true">

I had to reduce the layout_height and add layout_gravity="center_vertical" for it to be close to how I like
Also it was key to set the cornerRadius to 0dp, same with cardElevation 0dp

I hope someone else finds this helpful, I know it sure bugged the shit outta me
