Fast Bitmap Blur For Android SDK

Currently in an Android application that I’m developing I’m looping through the pixels of an image to blur it. This takes about 30 seconds on a 640×480 image.

While browsing apps in the Android Market I came across one that includes a blur feature and their blur is very fast (like 5 seconds) so they must be using a different method of blurring.

Anyone know a faster way other than looping through the pixels?
