BlurLayout Library

BlurLayout is a modern Android library that delivers smooth, real-time blur effects to your application's interface. Designed for simplicity and performance, it supports devices running Android 5.0 (API 21) and above. On devices with Android 12 (API 31) and later, it leverages the latest hardware-accelerated blur technology, while efficiently falling back to a custom blur algorithm on older devices.

Quick Start

1. Add BlurLayout to Your Project

Add this to your gradle file.

dependencyResolutionManagement {
	repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
	repositories {
		mavenCentral()
		maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
	}
}

And include the BlurLayout library in your project as a dependency.

dependencies {
        implementation 'com.github.ZayedCom:BlurLayoutLibrary:Tag'
}

2. Integrate in Your XML Layout

Wrap the background content you want to blur within the BlurLayout. For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <!-- BlurLayout with background content -->
    <net.app.nfusion.blurlibrary.BlurLayout
        android:id="@+id/blur_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <!-- Any content here will be blurred -->

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/background"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:contentDescription="The background image to blur"
            android:scaleType="centerCrop"
            tools:ignore="HardcodedText" />
    </net.app.nfusion.blurlibrary.BlurLayout>

</FrameLayout>

3. Control the Blur in Your Code

Adjust the blur radius and start the effect programmatically:

BlurLayout blurLayout = findViewById(R.id.blur_layout);
blurLayout.setBlurRadius(50f); // Set desired blur intensity
blurLayout.startBlur();        // Activate the blur effect

// To disable the blur effect later:
// blurLayout.stopBlur();
