bitmap - android programmatically blur imageview drawable

Question

I want to programmatically blur and unblur images in Android.

I hear that android flag "blur" is no longer supported after API 14 , but I wanted to use Java methods anyway. My main problem is manipulating the bitmap from an Imageview drawable.

How would I get the bitmap from an imageview and manipulate it (will probably use gaussian blur) and set it back to the imageview? I think the process involves extracting the drawable, converting the drawable to a bitmap, doing my blur method on that bitmap and then doing the reverse till it is set to the imageview again

but I would like that process spelled out, thank you

Answer 1

Following are the codes for implementing gaussian blur. May this can help you
