Omg @cb 😍 https://androiddev.social/@cb/111324976097218908

@cb does this work on old Android APIs?

[cb]

Depends what you mean by 'work'. It does something on all API levels, but the blurring effect is only available on API 31+. The FAQs should hopefully help here: https://chrisbanes.github.io/haze/faq/

[Javier]

Yeah, this part:

On older devices (API 30 and below), Haze uses a fallback translucent scrim, unlike blur which is a no-op.

[Javier]

Anyway good job 🙂
I Hope we can drop old APIs so blur style is used more and more on Android

[cb]

API 31+ is roughly 38% of active devices according to Android Studio. Not perfect, still a sizeable number of users.

This is great news! I've been asked to introduce this glass effect into Ashampoo Photos for two years now, and finally, I may be able to deliver it. 🎉

YES THANK YOU!

[andrew]

Also waiting for Romain Guy to talk about perf on Android haha 🤣

[Loney Chou]

Nice stuff✨Could you add an image of how the translucent scrim looks like? Also, what about the performance?

[cb]

Could you add an image of how the translucent scrim looks like?

See below. I didn't put a lot of effort into this, so it just the tint color with the alpha boosted.

Also, what about the performance?

I haven't done any benchmarks, but I've seen no noticeable drop in scroll performance in Tivi. I haven't tried on older/low end devices though.
