Android Virtual Device Manager - Webcam0 on 4.4.2 not working

Question

I've configured a virtual 4.4.2 (arm) Android Device in the AVD (Full Settings below) and need to use my webcam to test the camera.

The camera app starts and crashes instantly (Camera has stopped working).

I get the following log output:

Use Genymotion for testing app it work like AVD and you can use Camera in Genymotion.
