Shadow not displaying. SetElevation not working

Please complete the following information:

• Library-Version [v1.1.4]
• Affected Device(s) [Android Emulator Pixel 3a with Android 9.0 API 28 - Google Play]
• Min API [21]

Describe the Bug:

I tried the parameter setElevation in order to display the shadow as recently you released this feature in version 1.1.3 and I couldn’t manage to get it to work.

I’ve tested in my own app and in the sample of the repo and I couldn’t manage to get it to work, I’ve edited all the Factories without success:

Sample code

class TagBalloonFactory : Balloon.Factory() {

  override fun create(context: Context, lifecycle: LifecycleOwner?): Balloon {
    return createBalloon(context) {
      setLayout(R.layout.layout_custom_tag)
      setArrowSize(10)
      setArrowOrientation(ArrowOrientation.BOTTOM)
      setArrowPosition(0.5f)
      setElevation(10f)
      setPadding(4)
      isRtlSupport(BalloonUtils.isRtlLayout())
      setCornerRadius(4f)
      setBalloonAnimationStyle(R.style.ElasticAndFadeOut)
      setBackgroundColorResource(R.color.white_93)
      setAutoDismissDuration(2000L)
      setDismissWhenClicked(true)
      setDismissWhenShowAgain(true)
      setLifecycleOwner(lifecycle)
    }
  }
}

Also shouldn’t the elevation be set as the padding or the width/height which is an Int and not a Float for consistency API reasons? The elevation should also be applied in dp.

Expected Behavior:

The elevation should behave as normal and be displayed in the UI.

PS: Thanks for the awesome library! Keep up the good work! 💪
