Dimezis/BlurView
BlurView
BlurView is a custom Android UI component that provides real-time, dynamic blurring effects for user interfaces. It functions as a layout element that applies a blur effect to the content of the underlying view hierarchy, enabling the creation of glassmorphism styles and translucent backgrounds.
The project focuses on implementing dynamic background rendering that updates as the content beneath the blurred area changes. It allows for the porting of frosted glass visual styles to Android layouts through adjustable diffusion levels and rounded corner clipping.
The implementation covers visual processing capabilities including blur intensity control and real-time rendering, supported by low-level mechanisms such as view-tree snapshotting and GPU-accelerated processing.
Features
- Blur Effects - Provides a custom Android view that applies real-time blur filters to background layers and view hierarchies.
- GPU-Accelerated Processing - Uses RenderScript for high-performance image blur operations executed on the GPU.
- Android UI Components - Provides a reusable custom Android UI component for implementing glassmorphism and blurred effects.
- Android Interface Design - Implements modern Android interface design patterns using real-time background blur effects.
- View-to-Bitmap Overlays - Implements a view-to-bitmap overlay mechanism to capture and process UI snapshots for real-time blurring.
- View Snapshotting - Captures the current state of the view hierarchy as a bitmap for real-time background manipulation.
- Real-Time Visual Updates - Implements translucent blurred layers that update instantly as the content underneath moves or changes.
- Blurred View Overlays - Implements a custom view that renders a blurred version of the underlying hierarchy as a stylized overlay.
- Blur and Glass Background Styles - Ships a dynamic background blur effect that achieves a liquid glass look as underlying content changes.
- Image Masking & Shaping - Provides capabilities for clipping blurred backgrounds into rounded corners and non-rectangular shapes.
- Custom View Styling - Provides styling for bespoke custom views, including adjustable blur diffusion and rounded corner shapes.
- Intensity Controls - Allows for the adjustment of diffusion levels by modifying the blur effect radius.
- Blur Edge Clipping - Shapes blurred backgrounds using drawables and outline providers to create rounded edges.
- Glassmorphism Porting - Brings the signature frosted glass look and feel from iOS to Android application layouts.
- Invalidation Triggers - Ensures the blur layer updates instantly whenever the underlying view content or blur radius is modified.
- Blur Effects - Dynamic blur view.
- Visual Effects - Dynamic blur view.
