You can set a shape drawable (a rectangle) as background for the view.

txt.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.black));

And rectangle drawable back.xml (put into res/drawable folder):

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle" >    
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />    
<stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#4fa5d5"/>    
</shape>
