Setup

First include the library in your project with:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.revosleap.layout:blurrylayout:2.0.0'
}

In your layout.xml file, set the parent layout as:

<com.revosleap.blurrylayout.BlurryLayout
    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"
    android:id="@+id/blurLayout"
    tools:context=".Blurry">
</com.revosleap.blurrylayout.BlurryLayout>

Xml Attributes

You can set xml atttributes to your layout as follows:

create namespace declaration xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" then add attributes as:

    app:blurColor="@android:color/white" <!--takes Color value int-->
    app:blurOpacity=".4" <!--takes value float-->
    app:blurImage="@drawable/together" <!--takes image drawable-->
    app:blurRadius="13" <!--takes value int-->

Sample

<com.revosleap.blurrylayout.BlurryLayout

    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"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/blurLayout"
    tools:context=".Blurry"
    app:blurColor="@android:color/white"
    app:blurOpacity=".4"
    app:blurImage="@drawable/together"
    app:blurRadius="13" >

Programatically

In your activity class you need to pass the image to be used as background;

Create an instance of the class like:

Java

BlurryLayout blurLayout = findViewById(R.id.blurLayout);

or

Kotlin

val blurLayout = findViewById(R.id.blurLayout) as BlurryLayout

Image blur

Set image and blur radius as:

Java

blurLayout.setBitmapBlur(bitmap);

Kotlin

blurLayout.setBitmapBlurry(bitmap);

Note: radius takes int. It determines the radius of the blur effect on the image.

Note: blurPercentage takes int. It determines the the percentage of the blur.

Blur color

Set as:

Java

blurLayout.blurColor(Color.WHITE);

or

Kotlin

blurLayout.blurColor = Color.WHITE

This is the color of the background blur.

Can be determined by the color of views above it. Example, textviews with light color will need a darker blur color and vice versa.

Note: blur color takes int.

Blur opacity

set as:

Java

blurLayout.blurOpacity(0.3f);

or

Kotlin

blurLayout.blurOpacity = 0.3F

Determines the opacity of the blurry backgroud. Higher values mean the blur color is more visible and vice versa. It takes float
