Hi Timothy, Thank you very much for the code, this was exactly what I was looking for. I thought that maybe there was a way of doing it just using the TextView methods or setting TextPaint parameters, but this way is perfectly fine and it works for me. The only thing that doesn't seem to work properly is applying animations on the TypeFaceTextView. I think it draws the outline fine the first time, but for some reason the subsequent calls to draw from the animation don't paint the outline. Maybe it has something to do with the Xfermode or some parameter I should set in the Animation. Any idea?, I'm trying to find out as I am still not very familiar with Xfermodes and Animations.
Thanks for your help.
