Android Emulator 4.2 (API Level 17) "Unfortunately camera has stopped" When try to access camera from the main menu

Question

I'm using Android 4.2 (API Level 17) emulator.

Whenever I clicked on the Camera, I got the following error message :

Unfortunately, camera has stopped

These are the logcat errors :

E/CameraService(40): CameraService::connect X (pid 862) rejected (invalid cameraId 0).
E/CameraHolder(862): fail to connect Camera

I tried various solutions. But no luck :(

No one has given a working solution for this problem so far. Please give me a hint

• Webcam : Dell Integrated webcam

• OS : windows 8 Professional 64 bit version

Cheers !!!

You probably don't care anymore but this was one of the first ones i got when i googled the same problem so in case anyone else runs into this i found that my problem was that i had selected no camera in the AVD (seems to be default)
