When I press button to open the camera, my app crashes.

LogCat:

    seems pretty obvious by the error, you dont have the correct permissions – tyczj May 18 '16 at 16:36

Add this to your manifest:

<uses-feature
    android:name="android.hardware.camera"
    android:required="false" />

Use this

To call the camera you can use:

Intent intent = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");
startActivity(intent);

The image will be automatically saved in a default directory.

And you need to set the permission for the camera in your AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"> </uses-permission>

Now using above approach Devices with no camera or devices only with front camera won't be able to find/install the app.

Add this to your manifest:

<uses-feature
    android:name="android.hardware.camera"
    android:required="false" />
