Hi, thanks for report!

Seems like Android 8.0+ system bug

Linked original repo issue: Dimezis/BlurView#66

Another issues:

• Software rendering doesn't support hardware bitmaps facebook/stetho#615

I replaced this component with the one from mmin18/RealtimeBlurView. I translated it into C#:

https://gist.github.com/softlion/e8507be4ab62088fb424b3bfc95b8eef

It's much easier to use.

@softlion can I use this in Xamarin.Forms project and how? Can you provide a sample code?
