## What it is
Dali is an Android image blur library offering static blurring, live blurring, and blur animations. It uses RenderScript internally with caching for speed and includes additional image filters like brightness, contrast, and color adjustments.

## Use cases
- blur background images in an Android app
- add live blur effects behind dialogs or drawers
- animate blur transitions in Android UI
- apply brightness, contrast, and color filters to bitmaps
- blur images efficiently with caching on Android

## When to choose
- you need fast, cached image blurring on Android
- you want live or animated blur effects in your UI
- you need extra image filters alongside blurring

## When to avoid
- you need a fully stable, production-hardened library (it is self-described as prototype state)
- your project does not target Android
- you need the animation module, which is incomplete

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: image-processing, animation
- domain: image-processing, mobile-development, android-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: blur, renderscript, live-blur, image-filters, builder-pattern, android, mobile
