I want to programmatically change the contrast of bitmap. Till now I have tried this.

private Bitmap adjustedContrast(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.green(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.blue(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 this does not work as expected. Please help me in this or provide any other solution to achieve this. Thanks in advance.

Here is complete method:

/**
 * 
 * @param bmp input bitmap
 * @param contrast 0..10 1 is default
 * @param brightness -255..255 0 is default
 * @return new bitmap
 */
public static Bitmap changeBitmapContrastBrightness(Bitmap bmp, float contrast, float brightness)
{
    ColorMatrix cm = new ColorMatrix(new float[]
            {
                contrast, 0, 0, 0, brightness,
                0, contrast, 0, 0, brightness,
                0, 0, contrast, 0, brightness,
                0, 0, 0, 1, 0
            });

    Bitmap ret = Bitmap.createBitmap(bmp.getWidth(), bmp.getHeight(), bmp.getConfig());

    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(ret);

    Paint paint = new Paint();
    paint.setColorFilter(new ColorMatrixColorFilter(cm));
    canvas.drawBitmap(bmp, 0, 0, paint);

    return ret;
}
