## What it is
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
