How to outline text in android map

I would like to outline text in Overlay inside map. I tried the below code, but the reult were not very satisfactory.

Paint paint = new Paint();
                paint.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.CENTER);
                paint.setTextSize(mTextSize);

                paint.setAntiAlias(true);
              //  paint.setARGB(150, 0, 0, 0); // alpha, r, g, b (Black, semi see-through)
              //  paint.setARGB(255, 255, 255, 255); 
                paint.setColor(0xFFFFFFFF );
                //paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
                paint.setStyle(/*Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE*/Paint.Style.FILL);
                //show text to the right of the icon
                canvas.drawText(item.getTitle(), ptScreenCoord.x+(distancesShift), ptScreenCoord.y+23-mTextSize, paint);
                // again to show outline
                Paint paint2 = new Paint();
                paint2.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.CENTER);
                paint2.setTextSize(mTextSize);

                paint2.setAntiAlias(true);
                paint2.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.CENTER);
              //  paint.setARGB(150, 0, 0, 0); // alpha, r, g, b (Black, semi see-through)
              //  paint2.setARGB(255, 255, 255, 255); 
                paint2.setColor(0x00000000);
                paint2.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
                paint2.setStrokeWidth(4);

                canvas.drawText(item.getTitle(), ptScreenCoord.x+(distancesShift), ptScreenCoord.y+23-mTextSize, paint2);
