Answer 1

Android browser renders the style background-image very poorly. Here's the useful article on this topic.

Better to use the following: android:shadowDx, android:shadowDy, android:shadowRadius.

For instance:

<TextView android:id="@+id/txt_1"
              android:layout_width="wrap_content"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:textSize="14dp"
              android:textStyle="bold"
              android:textColor="@color/light_font"
              android:shadowColor="@color/text_shadow"
              android:shadowDx="1"
              android:shadowDy="1"
              android:shadowRadius="2" />

Answer 2

The code you have written is for background, If you want to add shadow in text it's done using this CSS,

text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #000;

or

text-shadow: 0 1px 1px #Ff0000;

Answer 3

Have you tested with the tag text-shadow?

text-shadow: 5px 5px 5px black;
