There are some attributes for putting a shadow behind the letters in a TextView: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#attr_android:shadowColor http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#attr_android:shadowRadius
Even setting it to black only results in a gray shadow for some reason, however. I needed to make some text readable despite being displayed on a complex background recently, and the shadow just wasn't dark enough to do the job.
