Stroke with text

Question

I was wondering that is it possible to create a custom drawable with stroke as border and this stroke contains text and for my ths question see the following image that I have created on Paint.

I have created a Linear Layout with stroke and a text 'Hello World' is on the stroke, so the question once again is that is it possible to create this type of stroke.

Your expected design can be achieved by the following code I just did and checked:

First use a custom background in drawable: bg_gray_rectangle_rounded_corners.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape android:shape="rectangle" 
     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <stroke android:width="1.5dp"
        android:color="@color/colorPrimary"/>

    <corners android:radius="8dp"/>

    <solid android:color="#00B6625D"/>

</shape>

then in your main xml file copy and paste this snippet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#FFF"
android:orientation="vertical">

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="100dp"
    android:layout_margin="15dp">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="80dp"
        android:background="@drawable/bg_gray_rectangle_rounded_corners"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:paddingStart="15dp"
        android:paddingEnd="15dp"
        android:weightSum="2"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent">

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_margin="5dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="@drawable/bg_gray_rectangle_rounded_corners"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:padding="10dp"
            android:text="Log In"
            android:textColor="@color/colorPrimary" />

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_margin="5dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="@drawable/bg_gray_rectangle_rounded_corners"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:padding="10dp"
            android:text="Sign up"
            android:textColor="@color/colorPrimary" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginStart="32dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="32dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="7dp"
        android:background="#FFF"
        android:padding="4dp"
        android:text="@string/app_name"
        android:textColor="#636262"
        android:textSize="16sp"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

</LinearLayout>

Here is the output

Have a good day. Let me know if it helps.
