It doesn't blur the image (Step 4 Make your first WorkRequest)

[gabbernardo]

This is my snippet code of BlurWorker.kt

This is my BlurViewModel.kt

This is the output in Device File Explorer

I didn't change or refract other classes and functions. I just followed what the codelab says.

I spent time troubleshooting this as a learning exercise and found that the output from Step 4 actually is in fact blurring the image. However, the initial resource is such a high resolution file that is it almost undetectable. If you'd like to see the image blur, you can add a scale down option setting.

Where you have: val picture = BitmapFactory.decodeResource( appContext.resources, R.drawable.android_cupcake)

You can add a size down option variable and pass it into the BitmapFactory.decodeResource method in the following way:

val sizeDownOption = BitmapFactory.Options()
sizeDownOption.inSampleSize = 2

val picture = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(
     appContext.resources,
     R.drawable.android_cupcake, sizeDownOption)

The inSampleSize option will return a smaller image. Then the blurBitmap will have a more noticeable effect.

Curious if this works for you (or anyone else). Thanks!

@skatingtamara thanks, your solution works for me.

Another solution i found is to change one line in the blurBitmap method of WorkerUtils: In theIntrinsic.apply{ ... } block, change setRadius(10f) to setRadius(25f)

I'm not exactly sure how it works but I read the documentation for ScriptIntrinsicBlur and it says setRadius allows you to set the radius of the blur and input values it accepts is between 10 and 25.
