Adjust Brightness, Contrast using Camera.Parameters - camera-api

Question

I were trying to make a camera application, I'm unable to find a way to change camera brightness, contrast using Camera.Parameters
So my question is how to add Brightness and contrast feature to increase/decrease brightness/contrast. For example if I increase the seekbarit increase the brightness. if I decrease the seekbar it decrease the brightness.
Please edit my code or put your seprate answer to help me.

Answer 1

there is no method in Camera.Parameters to achieve this. You have to read this documentation for this class to check the available parameters and this class is deprecated in API 21 and above.
