Expected: set android:background="@drawable/lines" in activity_main.xml could produce an expected result

Actual: using <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/lines</item> in AppTheme and .setFrameClearDrawable(windowBackground) set in MainActivity does not work properly.

I tried to apply using getWindow().getDecorView() but it does not work.

Can you post a commit with this change? It works fine for me on your branch

Apparently, there’s some weird bug with android:windowBackground as an image (BitmapDrawable). I’ll see what I can do about it, but be aware that even regardless of this bug, your Expected result is probably impossible with setFrameClearDrawable, because the drawable doesn’t have a trackable position on the screen.

That means, that even if I fix the bug, the bottom BlurView won’t be able to properly blur the bottom of this drawable.

To fix this, you can either pass the (ViewGroup) getWindow().getDecorView() as a rootView, or set the background in activity_main.xml as you did.
