Filter Commonsware Cwac Image Android

Question

I am wondering does anyone know how is the best way to implement filters using commonsware-cwac.

I want to update the camera preview each time the user chooses a different filter

If you are looking to use filters, do not use the CWAC-Camera library. You are trying to write a real camera app, and that is not what my library is for. Quoting the README:

The targeted use case is an app that might otherwise have relied upon ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE, but needs greater reliablilty and somewhat greater control (e.g., capture images directly to internal storage).

If you are trying to write "a camera app" — an app whose primary job is to take pictures — this library may be unsuitable for you.

Please use the Camera2 (Android 5.0+) and Camera (Android 4.4 and older) APIs directly.
