An Android library providing a BlurView, a FrameLayout-like view that dynamically blurs its underlying content in an iOS-like fashion and redraws as the view hierarchy changes. It includes a BlurTarget wrapper and pluggable blur algorithms with support for both modern (API 31+) and legacy Android rendering paths.

Use cases

• add a frosted-glass blur background behind a toolbar or tab bar in Android
• blur underlying content dynamically as views animate or resize
• create iOS-style translucent overlays on Android
• blur a specific region of the screen while keeping child views sharp
• apply real-time blur effects to Android layouts

When to choose

• you need dynamic, live-updating blur of underlying Android views
• you want an iOS-like frosted glass effect in an Android app
• you need a drop-in View that works with animations and layout changes

When to avoid

• you need static image blurring rather than live view blurring
• your project is not Android/Java-based
• you need blur effects on platforms other than Android
