Here's code to just extract the greyscale image data:

private int[] decodeGreyscale(byte[] nv21, int width, int height) {
    int pixelCount = width * height;
    int[] out = new int[pixelCount];
    for (int i = 0; i < pixelCount; ++i) {
        int luminance = nv21[i] & 0xFF;
        out[i] = Color.argb(0xFF, luminance, luminance, luminance);
    }
    return out;
}
