Answer 1

The RecyclerView take the shadow from the colorPrimary of your Theme.

You need to create new theme for RecyclerView then apply this Theme to your RecyclerView

In below example themes colorPrimary is colorGreen so it will take green color shadow.

SAMPLE CODE

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
     android:id="@+id/ha_citiesRC"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
     android:requiresFadingEdge="vertical"
     android:theme="@style/CustomTheme"
     android:nestedScrollingEnabled="false" />

theme

 <style name="CustomTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">

   <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorGreen</item>
   <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
   <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>

 </style>
