Answer 1

Draw the text two times. First draw the text with a fill paint like so:

Paint fillPaint = new Paint(); fillPaint.setColor(Color.MAGENTA); canvas.drawText(.... fillPaint); 

Then draw it again with a stroke like so:

Paint stkPaint = new Paint(); stkPaint.setStyle(Style.STROKE); stkPaint.setStrokeWidth(8); stkPaint.setColor(Color.WHITE); canvas.drawText(.... stkPaint);
