Create a foggy effect on screen

Question

Is it possible to create a fog effect on the screen of an android phone. iFoggy was able to get this effect (see picture) for an iPhone.

enter image description here

Is it possible to achieve the same for an android app. I just want the foggy effect and don't want anything to happen when the user touches the screen.

I'm guessing this might be achieved using Bitmap but I've never used that before so any tips would be helpful.

Would you need to be able to interact with whatever is under the fog? — Larry McKenzie, May 20 '13 at 06:22
There would be a button behind the fog which the user can press to clear the screen — Ankush, May 20 '13 at 06:24
It is likely doable, I am not sure about the button the fog... You could set the source of an imageview to your foggy image and make the activity transparent. — Larry McKenzie, May 20 '13 at 06:29
I thought about that but using a blurred image of the background won't be easy as the background changes depending on what the user did with it before the fog effect was called — Ankush, May 20 '13 at 06:40
Use a transparent png and place it on top of the content, quite easy. Heart cut-out is transparent. — Codebeat, May 20 '13 at 06:43
@Erwinus is right and check this out regarding the background of the activity. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2176922/how-to-create-transparent-activity-in-android — Larry McKenzie, May 20 '13 at 06:45

I had a look. The answer wasn't really of much help as the person figured it out himself and didn't really explain how – Ankush May 20 '13 at 06:27
