If you like you can import the project into eclipse, and use it as a library project This is a decent tutorial on using library projects
Realistically, just copy MagicTextView.java & attrs.xml into your project and use them as your own.
From Xml:
<com.qwerjk.better_text.MagicTextView
xmlns:qwerjk="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.qwerjk.better_text"
android:textSize="78dp"
android:textColor="#ff333333"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawableLeft="@android:drawable/btn_star"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:padding="10dp"
qwerjk:foreground="@drawable/fake_luxury_tiled"
qwerjk:innerShadowDy="2"
qwerjk:innerShadowColor="#FF000000"
qwerjk:innerShadowRadius="1"
qwerjk:outerShadowDy="3"
qwerjk:outerShadowColor="#FF0088ff"
qwerjk:outerShadowRadius="10"
qwerjk:strokeColor="#FFff0000"
qwerjk:strokeJoinStyle="miter"
qwerjk:strokeWidth="5"
android:text="Magic" />
From Java:
view = new MagicTextView(context);
view.addInnerShadow(0, -1, 0, 0xFFffffff);
view.addOuterShadow(0, -1, 0, 0xff000000);
view.setStroke(4, 0xFFff0000);
view.setForegroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.fake_luxury_tiled);
