Blur Dialog

Blur Dialog is an Android dialog-like view providing a blur effect as background, a title and an icon

  • Innovative: Blur Dialog is an innovative way to show in-app alerts, notifications or reward messages.
  • Great UI: A simple UI. One title. One beautiful icon. One ambitious and elegant blurred background.
  • Inspired by: 3 inspirations: iOS's volume dialog, XCode's "Build successful" dialog and Microsoft's new Fluent Design System.
  • Many thanks to: Dmitry Saviuk who made BlurView so that I didn't have to do it again. ^^

Usage

Add this XML snippet to your layout.

<com.vlstr.blurdialog.BlurDialog
        android:layout_width="200dp"
        android:layout_height="200dp"
        android:id="@+id/blurView"
        android:elevation="24dp"
        app:blurOverlayColor="@color/colorOverlay"
        app:blurDialogIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        app:blurDialogTitle="Hello World!"
        app:blurDialogDuration="length_short"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:visibility="invisible">

</com.vlstr.blurdialog.BlurDialog>

And create and show the BlurDialog this way:

MainActivity.java
---

final BlurDialog blurDialog = (BlurDialog) findViewById(R.id.blurView);
blurDialog.create(getWindow().getDecorView(), 20);
blurDialog.show();

Note: Currently, it is best to have one and only one BlurDialog in your Activity. Using 'invisible' in the XML and then hide() the BlurDialog (automatically done if duration is set, otherwise use the public method).

Compatibility

This Android library is currently only supported by devices with API > 17.

Also, BlurView can be used only in a hardware-accelerated window. Otherwise, blur will not be drawn. It will fallback to a regular FrameLayout drawing process.. Performance is good, but highly depends on your layout and usage.

Customisation

  • Title

  • Icon

  • Title size

  • Corner Radius

  • Duration: You have the choice between SHORT (2s) and LONG (3.5s). If you wish to have an infinite BlurDialog and handle hiding or dismissing yourself, you can do so too.

  • Blur color overlay: Provide the colour being used as the dialog's overlay. Default is a transparent white.

  • Blur radius: Range [1-25] - The lower it is, the more you will see the BlurDialog's background.

Note: BlurDialog is NOT extending AlertDialog, hence clicking outside the box is currently NOT hiding the BlurDialog. Of course, you can implement this in dispatchTouchEvent() easily and then call BlurDialog's hide() or dismiss() method.
