How to set shadows in React Native for android?

Hi am trying to set a shadow for my fab but my attempts has failed so far i tried setting shadow props but that is for ios only so i tried to play with elevation property but it doesn't look right.

Here's what i tried

  <View
    style={{
      width: 56,
      height: 56,
      elevation: 2,
      borderRadius: 28,
      marginBottom: 3,
      backgroundColor: 'rgba(231,76,60,1)',
    }}
  ></View>

What i need to achieve

Adding the CSS property elevation: 1 renders shadow in Android without installing any 3rd party library.

elevation is an Android-only style property available on the View elements.

See: React Native Docs for the elevation style property

If you're open to 3rd party software, another way to get shadows for android is to install react-native-shadow.

Example (adapted from the readme):

import React, { Component } from "react";
import { TouchableHighlight } from "react-native";

import { BoxShadow } from "react-native-shadow";

export default class ShadowButton extends Component {
  render() {
    const shadowOpt = {
      width: 160,
      height: 170,
      color: "#000",
      border: 2,
      radius: 3,
      opacity: 0.2,
      x: 0,
      y: 3,
      style: { marginVertical: 5 }
    };

    return (
      <BoxShadow setting={shadowOpt}>
        <TouchableHighlight
          style={{
            position: "relative",
            width: 160,
            height: 170,
            backgroundColor: "#fff",
            borderRadius: 3,
            // marginVertical: 5,
            overflow: "hidden"
          }}
        >
          ...
        </TouchableHighlight>
      </BoxShadow>
    );
  }
}
