There really is no way for adding a stroke to text... I believe you asked about that in another post. To do that you would need to subclass Button... And then you would need to do a whole lot of work in the onDraw() method. I don't know if that would be worth the effort.
Even if you decide it is worth the effort, don't do anything in the subclass relating to the background of the button... just the text.
