Take monochrome picture (black and white) with Android

Viewed 12596

I would like to take a picture in true black and white in my app. I searched for solutions (in this site too), but I always found solution to put a photo in gray scale (for example in this topic), but it's not what I am looking for ...

I also found a topic proposing this :

public static Bitmap createContrast(Bitmap src, double value) {
// image size

                int width = src.getWidth();
                int height = src.getHeight();
                // create output bitmap
                Bitmap bmOut = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, src.getConfig());
                // color information
                int A, R, G, B;
                int pixel;
                // get contrast value
                double contrast = Math.pow((100 + value) / 100, 2);

        // scan through all pixels
        for (int x = 0; x < width; ++x) {
            for (int y = 0; y < height; ++y) {
                // get pixel color
                pixel = src.getPixel(x, y);
                A = Color.alpha(pixel);
                // apply filter contrast for every channel R, G, B
                R = Color.red(pixel);
                R = (int) (((((R / 255.0) - 0.5) * contrast) + 0.5) * 255.0);
                if (R < 0) {
                    R = 0;
                } else if (R > 255) {
                    R = 255;
                }

                G = Color.red(pixel);
                G = (int) (((((G / 255.0) - 0.5) * contrast) + 0.5) * 255.0);
                if (G < 0) {
                    G = 0;
                } else if (G > 255) {
                    G = 255;
                }

                B = Color.red(pixel);
                B = (int) (((((B / 255.0) - 0.5) * contrast) + 0.5) * 255.0);
                if (B < 0) {
                    B = 0;
                } else if (B > 255) {
                    B = 255;
                }

                // set new pixel color to output bitmap
                bmOut.setPixel(x, y, Color.argb(A, R, G, B));
            }
        }

        return bmOut;

    }

But the image quality is horrible ...

Is anyone having an idea please?

Thank you
