How to correctly implement such a view when the text is inside a rectangle?

Question

XML

Hello everyone, please tell me how to correctly implement such a design in android studio, preferably using constraint layout?
I want the News RecyclerView to be wrapped in a rectangle with shadows around it.
Is it ok to nest another constraint layout inside a constraint layout?


Thank you!

You need to put the RecyclerView in a FrameLayout with elevation set.

No. ConstraintLayout was created to build a flat view hierarchy.
