Lacking privileges to access camera service with permission granted

Question

I am trying to add camera 2 API on my app using Google examples. My app has permission to use camera, and old API works fine. I have check more than one the permission even line before to execute the code in which Android throws the exceptions but I still receive Lacking privileges to access camera service.

private void createCameraPreviewSession() {
    try{
        SurfaceTexture texture = mTextureView.getSurfaceTexture();
        //assert texture != null;

        Log.d(TAG,String.format("Textureview is null: %b, texture is null: %b",mTextureView==null, texture==null));
        // We configure the size of default buffer to be the size of camera preview we want.
        texture.setDefaultBufferSize(mPreviewSize.getWidth(), mPreviewSize.getHeight());

        // This is the output Surface we need to start preview.
        Surface surface = new Surface(texture);

        // We set up a CaptureRequest.Builder with the output Surface.

        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(a, Manifest.permission.CAMERA) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            Log.d(TAG, "Permission granted");
            mPreviewRequestBuilder= mCameraDevice.createCaptureRequest(CameraDevice.TEMPLATE_PREVIEW);
            Log.d(TAG, "Capture request created");
        }
        else{
            return ;
        }

        mPreviewRequestBuilder.addTarget(surface);

        // Here, we create a CameraCaptureSession for camera preview.

        mCameraDevice.createCaptureSession(Arrays.asList(surface),
            new CameraCaptureSession.StateCallback() {

                @Override
                public void onConfigured(@NonNull CameraCaptureSession cameraCaptureSession) {
                    // The camera is already closed
                    if (null == mCameraDevice) {
                        return;
                    }

                    // When the session is ready, we start displaying the preview.
                    mCaptureSession = cameraCaptureSession;
                    try {
                        // Auto focus should be continuous for camera preview.
                        mPreviewRequestBuilder.set(CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AF_MODE,
                                CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AF_MODE_CONTINUOUS_PICTURE);

                        // Finally, we start displaying the camera preview.
                        mPreviewRequest = mPreviewRequestBuilder.build();
                        mCaptureSession.setRepeatingRequest(mPreviewRequest, null, null);
                    } catch (CameraAccessException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }

                @Override
                public void onConfigureFailed(
                        @NonNull CameraCaptureSession cameraCaptureSession) {
                    Toast.makeText(a,a.getString(R.string.error_configuring_camera),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }
            }, null);
    } catch (CameraAccessException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Here is the log:

Code is called form here:

private final CameraDevice.StateCallback mStateCallback = new CameraDevice.StateCallback() {

    @Override
    public void onOpened(@NonNull CameraDevice cameraDevice) {
        // This method is called when the camera is opened.  We start camera preview here.
        mCameraOpenCloseLock.release();
        mCameraDevice = cameraDevice;
        createCameraPreviewSession();
    }

    @Override
    public void onDisconnected(@NonNull CameraDevice cameraDevice) {
        mCameraOpenCloseLock.release();
        cameraDevice.close();
        mCameraDevice = null;
    }

    @Override
    public void onError(@NonNull CameraDevice cameraDevice, int error) {
        mCameraOpenCloseLock.release();
        cameraDevice.close();
        mCameraDevice = null;
        Toast.makeText(a, a.getString(R.string.error_using_camera), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        a.finish();
    }
};

And the callback proceed form here:

private void openCamera(int width, int height) {

    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(a, Manifest.permission.CAMERA)
            != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        Log.d(TAG, "Permission denied");
        return;
    }
    setUpCameraOutputs(width, height);
    configureTransform(width, height);

    try {
        /*if (!mCameraOpenCloseLock.tryAcquire(2500, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Time out waiting to lock camera opening.");
        }*/
        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(a, Manifest.permission.CAMERA) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            Log.d(TAG, "Permission accepted");
            CameraManager manager = (CameraManager) a.getSystemService(Context.CAMERA_SERVICE);
            manager.openCamera(mCameraId, mStateCallback, null);
        }
        else{
            Log.d(TAG, "Permission denied");
            return;
        }

    } catch (CameraAccessException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } /*catch (InterruptedException e) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Interrupted while trying to lock camera opening.", e);
    }*/
}

I had the same issue on devices like the Samsung Galaxy S7. I resolved it by adding a delay before opening the camera as follow :

TextureView.SurfaceTextureListener textureListener = new TextureView.SurfaceTextureListener() {
    @Override
    public void onSurfaceTextureAvailable(SurfaceTexture surface, int width, int height) {
        mSurfaceTextureAvailable = true;
        if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(CameraActivity.this, Manifest.permission.CAMERA)
                != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(CameraActivity.this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.CAMERA}, REQUEST_CAMERA_PERMISSION);
            return;
        }else {
            mPermissionsGranted = true;

            // Execute some code after 500 milliseconds have passed
            Handler handler = new Handler();
            handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    setupCameraIfPossible();
                }
            }, 500);


        }

    }
...

Here is the method I used to open the camera :

 private void setupCameraIfPossible() {
    if (mSurfaceTextureAvailable && mPermissionsGranted) {
        openCamera();
    }
}

I hope it will help you
