## What it is
An Android sample application demonstrating how to implement blur graphical effects (like fast blur and RenderScript blur) in Android UIs. It serves as a reference implementation with a companion demo app published on Google Play.

## Use cases
- add a blur effect behind dialogs or overlays in an Android app
- learn how to blur bitmaps efficiently on Android
- implement iOS-style frosted glass backgrounds on Android
- find sample code for RenderScript blur techniques
- blur a background image when opening a navigation drawer

## When to choose
- you need a working code example of blur tricks for older Android versions
- you want to study pre-RenderScript and RenderScript blur implementations in Java

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained library for modern Android (project last released in 2016)
- your project uses Kotlin and modern Jetpack APIs
- you need production-grade blur support on recent Android versions with native blur APIs

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: image-processing, graphics
- domain: android-tools, mobile-development, graphics
- platform: jvm
- tags: android, blur-effect, sample-app, ui-effects, java
