Question

i have app include textview , i wonder if i can show the text with double color ,

for changing the color of the text easy to achieve by the following code :

android:textColor="#B22222" 

but what i need to achieve is :

text with two different color

or

text with color filled inside other color

as exampled image below :

so i can apply that to the whole text or part of it inside the textview .

I searced the net for any example but i cant find one ,

any advice will be appreciated , thanks

UPDATE:

Iused shadow in text XML , it gave aclose shape of what im looking for , but not exact
double color as previous image ,

my shadow code :

  <TextView   
 android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
 android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
 android:text="hi"  
 android:textStyle="bold"  
 android:textSize="150dp"  
 android:typeface="sans"  
 android:textColor="#0000ff"  
 android:shadowColor="#B22222"   
 android:shadowRadius="2.0"  
 android:shadowDy="10.0" 
 android:shadowDx="10.0"         /> 
<TextView    
 android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"   
 android:text="hi"     
 android:textStyle="bold"  
 android:textSize="150dp" 
 android:typeface="sans" 
 android:textColor="#0000ff"  
 android:shadowColor="#B22222"  
 android:shadowRadius="25.0"         />

output result as below image :

Any idea to get same shape of text in first image , thanks

You could probably use shadowColor, shadowDx, shadowDy and shadowRadius to achieve a very similar effect to the first example.
