Taking pictures on Android from Delphi Firemonkey XE5 app

Question

Has anyone been able to take pictures from camera on Android from within the app written in Delphi Firemonkey XE5? How about the video capture?

This is believed to be either a bug in a framework or just something with missing documentation about it.

Can anyone tell why the code bellow doesn't work / retrieve any image from a camera on Android?

Dropped a TCameraComponent on a form, and a TImage component as well, and nothing happens.

procedure TCameraComponentForm.OnCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  CameraComponent1.Kind := FMX.Media.TCameraKind.ckFrontCamera;
  CameraComponent1.FlashMode := FMX.Media.TFlashMode.fmFlashOff;
  CameraComponent1.Active := True;
end;

procedure TCameraComponentForm.CameraComponent1SampleBufferReady(
  Sender: TObject; const ATime: Int64);
begin
  CameraComponent1.SampleBufferToBitmap(Image1.Bitmap, True);
  Image1.Width := Image1.Bitmap.Width;
  Image1.Height := Image1.Bitmap.Height;
end;

Permissions are set correctly.

This code works fine:

procedure TfrmPrincipal.SampleBufferSync;
begin
  cmcPrincipal.SampleBufferToBitmap(imgFoto.Bitmap, true);
end;

procedure TfrmPrincipal.cmcPrincipalSampleBufferReady(Sender: TObject;
  const ATime: Int64);
begin
  TThread.Synchronize(TThread.CurrentThread, SampleBufferSync);
//  CameraComponent1.SampleBufferToBitmap(imgFoto.Bitmap, True);
//  imgFoto.Width := imgFoto.Bitmap.Width;
//  imgFoto.Height := imgFoto.Bitmap.Height;
end;

procedure TfrmPrincipal.FormShow(Sender: TObject);
begin
  cmcPrincipal.Kind := FMX.Media.TCameraKind.ckBackCamera;
  try
    cmcPrincipal.FlashMode := FMX.Media.TFlashMode.fmFlashOff;
  except

  end;
  cmcPrincipal.Active := True;
end;
