Can't find solution for adding blur effect to transparency overlay to place over a video background in a native Android app.

Have tried alpha etc but these solutions do not work over video, only images. 

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="#ffffff"> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:weightSum="105" android:orientation="vertical"> top layout with image <LinearLayout android:background="@drawable/s" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_weight="45"> </LinearLayout> <FrameLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_weight="60" android:weightSum="75" > <ImageView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:alpha="0.5" android:adjustViewBounds="true" android:scaleType="fitXY" android:src="@drawable/s"/> <LinearLayout

At the moment I can only place a transparent overlay over the background video, I am unable to add a blur effect. Any suggestions?

  • Add a background to the layout itself.. You can try adding alpha to a color by referring this https://stackoverflow.com/a/17239853/6514945 – sanjeev Jun 24 '19 at 05:55

  • Responding to both suggestions above; 1) This makes view transparent, not blur. Also transparency does not work with VideoView. 2) These are for Imageview and bitmaps, this will not work for VideoView. – Alex Jun 25 '19 at 02:52
