Question

In my splash screen I have a TextView that it shows the name of application. Is it possible to add effect(s) (for example shade) to this text?

Answer 1

You can use something like this to put the shadow, it works

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/text"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:text="@string/hello"
    android:shadowColor="#555555"
    android:shadowDx="5.0"
    android:shadowDy="5.0"
    android:shadowRadius="3.0"
    />
