Place shadow behind text using XML

We can define XML Attributes to place a shadow of the specified color behind the text.
  • android:shadowColor - Place a shadow of the specified color behind the text.
  • android:shadowDx - Horizontal offset of the shadow.
  • android:shadowDy - Vertical offset of the shadow.
  • android:shadowRadius - Radius of the shadow.
