[jaydeepw]

can you provide me more details about this issue? Like the OS version and some more information that will help me try to replicate this issue on simulator.

[BackPackerDz]

It's Android 4.1 version and sorry I don't have another useful information

[jaydeepw]

Alright, I will try to replicate

[HwanIk]

same issue too...

[jaydeepw]

Last time I tried using the library sample on Sony device running Android 4.1.2, I could not replicate the crash. If you can give me more details about the problem/crash that will help.

THe CwacCamera fragment doesnt work with emulators

[marlonbosse]

I came across the same error. But only if the keyboard is visible, a quick fix for me was making sure keyboards getting closed before starting the intent

[tomoyuki28jp]

same error here.

[MHJoshi]

[sahityakumarsuman]

Got the same error on Samsung Prime .........
