Hi,

I am trying to use a USB camera instead of the camera module. But I am getting below error

Is it supported by AndroidThings?

No, UVC (USB cameras) is not supported on Android Things at this moment. We support integrated cameras, as these are the most common use cases for IoT devices. If you have a use case for USB camera on your IoT device, could you please chime in on this bug https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=230309 ? I'm closing this issue here, since your request is on the platform, not on this sample.
