How to make gradient border of an image using java?

Question

How can I make an image border as gradient. I googled a lot, but didn\'t find correct suggestion. Any one can help me...

Answer 1

Create a transparent image of the same size, draw the white border and blur it. Than copy it on top of the image that you want to have the gradient border on.
