iOS 7 blur in Android

Question

I'm working on a new Android app designed in really flat style. I want to have a DialogAlert that shows up on a blurred background. Effect similiar to the control center on this photo (don't write about NDA, this photo is available on Apple's website):

Is it possible? If so, the most important question: how?

Answer 1

Yes this is possible, You have to use something called renderscript. so what you need is bitmap from the view this can be done using the following code.

View v // target view to be blurred
v.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
Bitmap screenshot = Bitmap.createBitmap(v.getDrawingCache());

Now use the renderscript to get the blurred bitmap shown here http://blog.neteril.org/blog/2013/08/12/blurring-images-on-android/ and draw it to your view.
