If you are drawing multiple views then you could also use two paints, one for the stroke and one for the fill. That way you don't have to keep resetting them.

Paint fillPaint = new Paint();
Paint strokePaint = new Paint();

RectF r = new RectF(30, 30, 1000, 500);

void initPaints() {

    // fill
    fillPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
    fillPaint.setColor(Color.YELLOW);

    // stroke
    strokePaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
    strokePaint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
    strokePaint.setStrokeWidth(10);
}

@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {

    // First rectangle
    canvas.drawRect(r, fillPaint);    // fill
    canvas.drawRect(r, strokePaint);  // stroke

    canvas.translate(0, 600);

    // Second rectangle
    int cornerRadius = 50;
    canvas.drawRoundRect(r, cornerRadius, cornerRadius, fillPaint);    // fill
    canvas.drawRoundRect(r, cornerRadius, cornerRadius, strokePaint);  // stroke
}
