Fast Blur - Native in Android App

Hi, My name is David Coronel, I'm an android developer from Colombia and currently I'm developing an app which uses real time blur combined with a slide up panel so the blur can get above of an image and make it blurried behind, I've been able to accomplish this task by creating a RelativeLayout whit some render script, but it is higly memory-demandant and after some time using the app it gets laggy and finally gets killed by the OS becouse ended up with a very high memory heap

Searching on the web for other methods to do fast blur I've found this great blog post

https://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2014/07/15/an-investigation-of-fast-real-time-gpu-based-image-blur-algorithms

This blog has a very complete example of doing blur with native ndk on android, I've done my best to understand how it does the blur but I'm not so advanced to deal with the native things

My question is, can somebody please tell me how can I wrap the blur code made on that blog into a customView so I can use it in a java android application? or if so, can someone point me in the right direction

Thank you very much for your help, it would be greatly appreciated
