Answer 1

Yes. It is possible. Try Android StackBlur library.

According to its documentation, to use this library, you must do the following:

First initialize your StackBlurManager to load a sample image:

_stackBlurManager = new StackBlurManager(getBitmapFromAsset(this, "android_platform_256.png"));

Process using a certain radius with the following line:

_stackBlurManager.process(progress*5);

and finally obtain the image and load it into an ImageView or any other component:

_imageView.setImageBitmap(_stackBlurManager.returnBlurredImage());
