How to blur background images in Android

Question

What is the best way to blur background images like the image below? I saw some code and libraries but their are a couple of years old or like BlurBehind library, but it doesn't give the same effect. Thanks in advance!

The easiest way to do that is use a library. Take a look at this one: https://github.com/wasabeef/Blurry

With the library you only need to do this:

Blurry.with(context)   .radius(10)   .sampling(8)   .color(Color.argb(66, 255, 255, 0))   .async()   .onto(rootView);
