Cloudy

☁️ Compose blur effect library, which falls back on to a CPU-based implementation to support older API levels.

The `blur` modifier supports only Android 12 and higher, and `RenderScript` APIs are deprecated starting in Android 12. Cloudy is the backport of the blur effect for Jetpack Compose.

Version Catalog

If you're using Version Catalog, you can configure the dependency by adding it to your libs.versions.toml file as follows:

[versions]
#...
cloudy = "0.2.3"

[libraries]
#...
compose-cloudy = { module = "com.github.skydoves:cloudy", version.ref = "cloudy" }

Gradle

Add the dependency below to your module's build.gradle.kts file:

dependencies {
    implementation("com.github.skydoves:cloudy:0.2.3")
    
    // if you're using Version Catalog
    implementation(libs.compose.cloudy)
}

Usage

You can implement blur effect with Modifiy.cloudy() composable function as seen in the below:

Text(
  modifier = Modifier.cloudy(),
  text = "This text is blurred"
)

You can change the degree of the blur effect by changing the radius parameter of Modifier.cloudy() composable function.

Column(
  modifier = Modifier.cloudy(radius = 15)
) {
  Image(..)

  Text(
    modifier = Modifier
      .fillMaxWidth()
      .padding(8.dp),
    text = posterModel.name,
    fontSize = 40.sp,
    color = MaterialTheme.colors.onBackground,
    textAlign = TextAlign.Center
  )

  Text(
    modifier = Modifier
      .fillMaxWidth()
      .padding(8.dp),
    text = posterModel.description,
    color = MaterialTheme.colors.onBackground,
    textAlign = TextAlign.Center
  )
}

Observing Blurring Status

You can monitor the status of the blurring effect by using the onStateChanged parameter, which provides CloudyState. This allows you to observe and respond to changes in the blurring effect's state effectively.

GlideImage(
  modifier = Modifier
    .size(400.dp)
    .cloudy(
      radius = 25,
      onStateChanged = {
        // ..
      }
    ),
..

Maintaining Blurring Effect on Responsive Composable

The Modifier.cloudy captures the bitmap of the composable node under the hood. If you need to use the cloudy modifier as an item in lists or similar structures, you should provide the same graphic layer to ensure consistent rendering and performance.

val graphicsLayer = rememberGraphicsLayer()

LazyVerticalGrid(
  state = rememberLazyGridState(),
  columns = GridCells.Fixed(2)
) {
  itemsIndexed(key = { index, item -> item.id }, items = posters) { index, item ->
    HomePoster(
      poster = item,
      graphicsLayer = graphicsLayer
    )
  }
}

@Composable
private fun HomePoster(
  graphicsLayer: GraphicsLayer = rememberGraphicsLayer(),
  poster: Poster
) {

    ConstraintLayout {
      val (image, title, content) = createRefs()
      GlideImage(
        modifier = Modifier
          .cloudy(radius = 15, graphicsLayer = graphicsLayer)
          .aspectRatio(0.8f)
          .constrainAs(image) {
            centerHorizontallyTo(parent)
            top.linkTo(parent.top)
          }
          ..

Blur Effect with Network Images

You can easily implement blur effect with Landscapist, which is a Jetpack Compose image loading library that fetches and displays network images with Glide, Coil, and Fresco. For more information, see the Transformation section.
