Answer 2

Try to create the themes.xml file and add the below lines in it.

Themes.xml

<style name="Theme">
   <item name="item_shadowColor">@style/item_label</item>
</style>

attrs.xml
Change the the format="reference" in your attrs.xml file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <attr name="item_shadowColor" format="reference" />
</resources>

styles.xml

<style name="AppTheme.Main">     
    <item name="item_shadowColor">#000000</item>        
</style>

<style name="item_label">    
    <item name="android:shadowColor">#F240FF</item>        
</style>

Then after define your style to the TextView as below:

<TextView
    android:id="@id/title"
    style="@style/item_label"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
