You should request camera permission on API >= 23

ask for runtime camera permission and you are good to go.

@yuriy-budiyev

Facing the same issue on some devices.

Android manifest has permission for Camera and there is run-time permission modal implemented in the Activity as well. Library works flawlessly in devices API >23.

Still found the same error.

Have you added camera permission to manifest?

from code-scanner.

@yuriy-budiyev yes. Permission is added in manifest as well as runtime permission is also asked. Therefor Library is working in majority of devices in the developed App. I have found some devices mentioned earlier which don't support this library (Original Comment).
I would recommend implementation of Camera2 API compatibility. My project is set to minSdkVersion = 19.
Although CameraX is introduced in Android Jetpack, it requires minSdkVersion = 23, which will not benefit to this library.

I will update to Camera2 API when devices lower than 21 SDK become irrelevant
