Android Device actionbar shadow

Question

I have a simple android app with couple of issues -

When I run my app in emulator I can see things correctly, as shown in below screenshot. The actionbar shadow is not shown and also the font is Cursive.

But when I run my app on my mobile device (I am using MotoG, Android version 4.4.4) my app looks like as shown below -

I took this screenshot from my mobile itself and it is showing the shadow and font is no longer Cursive.

I have already had asked a previous question regarding this issue but it solved my problem partially - Android app masthead display

I have looked at other questions on stackoverlfow but they don't seem to be having a problem like mine so I am asking this question. Can someone help me solve this issue.

if your don't want action bar than use following code it will help you

1 way through manifiest file

<activity android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">

2 way through theme

    <style name="NoActionBar" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
    <item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
    </style>
