Question

Quick and dirty:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
android:color="#000000">
<View
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/rectangle"
    android:layout_margin="20dp"
    />
<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <TextView 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:background="#000000"
        android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
        android:text="TITLE!"
        android:textColor="#ffffff"/>
</RelativeLayout>

</FrameLayout>

And @drawable/rectangle is in a drawable rectangle.xml file like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
    android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="@android:color/transparent"/>
<stroke  android:width="2dip" android:color="#ffffff"/>  
</shape>
