Simple glsl shaders usage with the latest Camera2 apis in Android 5.0+.

Check out SimpleCameraRenderer for the basics on how to extend these classes to use shaders and MainActivity for how to use the CameraFragment, since it encapsulates all camera functionality and doesn't do anything with the UI itself.

Base code originally by Jernej Virag and re-mixed with the Camera2 samples from Google.

Any questions/comments/etc - @trippedout

Dependencies

Need a 5.0+ device with access to Camera2 apis, most of the newest devices on the market will suffice, I don't think the emulator works in all cases, or at all. Let me know.

Also uses Butterknife by Jake Wharton for injection since i've been using it alot lately and it is awesome. Added through gradle so don't worry about anything on your end.

TODO

  • PLAYING WITH PREVIEW ONLY - need to look into more about the api to determine best way for us to actually RECORD the cool stuff we're showing on screen, rather than just showing it. It's a toy for now.

  • Handles only square perspective for now, due to silly aspect ratio business. Should be simple future fix for handling normal full portait and landscape imagery.

  • Refactor current CameraFragment/SurfaceTextureListener/CameraRenderer interactions. should be an easier way to continue to keep them separate but make them more manageable with less setup required.

  • Sample project with many more shader examples and maybe a way to extend shaders into their own class, similar to how I used to do it with GPU-Image

Issues

  • On some devices, app running from Android Studio will crash on initial load, with segmentation fault, but will continue to work fine on subsequent loads. Seen on Nexus 5.

  • Camera tends to crash after leaving app and coming back in, secondary onResume doing something silly.
