How to add a shadow in a text view? How to improve the text readability on widgets?
There’s four properties on TextView related to shadows.
First a a normal TextView XML declaration.
<TextView android:text="I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes." android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:textColor="#000000" android:layout_width="200px" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> </TextView>
Now the same TextView with the four shadow properties, the color, the x,y offset and the blur radius.
<TextView android:text="I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes." android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:textColor="#000000" android:layout_width="200px" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:shadowColor="#555555" android:shadowDx="5.0" android:shadowDy="5.0" android:shadowRadius="3.0"> </TextView>
