revoked permission android.permission.CAMERA

Question

I get ERROR revoked permission android.permission.CAMERA

I was using camera permission on manifest

private void dispatchTakePictureIntent(int actionCode) {      Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);      switch (actionCode) {         case ACTION_TAKE_PHOTO_B:             File f = null;              try {                 f = setUpPhotoFile();                 mCurrentPhotoPath = f.getAbsolutePath();                 takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(f));             } catch (IOException e) {                 e.printStackTrace();                 f = null;                 mCurrentPhotoPath = null;             }             break;          default:             break;     } // switch      startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, actionCode); } 

and error like this:

Answer 1

Here's how I solved this problem.

Contrary to what most answers say, REMOVE this from your Manifest file.

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

Why?

Starting Android M (API 23), if your app has CAMERA permission declared in the manifest, then, it needs that CAMERA permission to be GRANTED in order to access ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE etc... too (which normally do not require the CAMERA permission on their own). If not, then it automatically raises a SecurityException.

Above table is only for API 23+

tl;dr What to do?

Option 1- If you only use ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE etc...
Remove the CAMERA permission from manifest and you would be fine

Option 2- If you use other CAMERA functions:
Check for CAMERA permission at runtime and only start the intent when the permission is available
