Hi, i wan to create an android application that uses camera and apply some image processing filters of mine in real time. I have read from the forums that Camera.PreviewCallback method onPreviewFrame has only a copy of image data and if i alter them it has no effect (i 've seen that after some time of work) . So i want to know if there is anyway that i have not found that i can process the real frames. Another approach that i try is to hide the camera preview surface and draw the frames onto another surface but i cant hide the surface. I have read from the forums (an this one) that if i do not use the mHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS); on the usrfaceHolder then the surface view will be invisible but when i remove this line of code or put SURFACE_TYPE_NURMAL as parameter my application crashes. I have used only the emulator and i have not tested it in my phone (galaxy s). My code is based on the code of Google . If you can tell me what i do wrong or you can provide with some code snippets that i can filter the frames it will be great help because i have spent over 30hours on google search for that and still no result
