Dynamic iOS-like blur for Android Views. Includes library and small example project.
BlurView can be used as a regular FrameLayout. It blurs its underlying content and draws it as a background for its children. The children of the BlurView are not blurred. BlurView redraws its blurred content when changes in view hierarchy are detected (draw() called). It honors its position and size changes, including view animation and property animation.

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

<!--Any child View here, TabLayout for example. This View will NOT be blurred -->
</eightbitlab.com.blurview.BlurView> float radius = 20f;
View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
// ViewGroup you want to start blur from. Choose root as close to BlurView in hierarchy as possible.
ViewGroup rootView = (ViewGroup) decorView.findViewById(android.R.id.content);
// Optional:
// Set drawable to draw in the beginning of each blurred frame.
// Can be used in case your layout has a lot of transparent space and your content
// gets a too low alpha value after blur is applied.
Drawable windowBackground = decorView.getBackground();
blurView.setupWith(rootView, new RenderScriptBlur(this)) // or RenderEffectBlur
.setFrameClearDrawable(windowBackground) // Optional
.setBlurRadius(radius)Always try to choose the closest possible root layout to BlurView. This will greatly reduce the amount of work needed for creating View hierarchy snapshot.
BlurView currently doesn't support blurring of these targets, because they work only with hardware-accelerated Canvas, and BlurView relies on a software Canvas to make a snapshot of Views to blur.
Since JCenter is closing, please use https://jitpack.io/ and release tags as the source of stable artifacts.
implementation 'com.github.Dimezis:BlurView:version-2.0.3'It's possible to set rounded corners without, the algorithm is the same way as with other regular Views:
Create a rounded drawable, and set it as a background.
Then set up the clipping, so the BlurView doesn't draw outside the corners
blurView.setOutlineProvider(ViewOutlineProvider.BACKGROUND);
blurView.setClipToOutline(true);Related thread - #37
Because blurring on other threads would introduce 1-2 frames of latency.
- The main advantage of BlurView over almost any other library is that it doesn't trigger redundant redraw.
- The BlurView never invalidates itself or other Views in the hierarchy and updates only when needed relying on just a Bitmap mutation, which is recorded on a hardware-accelerated canvas.
- It supports multiple BlurViews on the screen without triggering a draw loop.
- It uses optimized RenderScript Allocations on devices that require certain Allocation sizes, which greatly increases blur performance.
- It allows choosing a custom root view to take a snapshot from, which reduces the amount of drawing traversals and allows greater flexibility.
- Supports blurring of Dialogs (and Dialog's background)
Other libs:
- 🛑 BlurKit - constantly invalidates itself
- 🛑 RealtimeBlurView - constantly invalidates itself
