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);
