Take photo
suggest changeAdd a permission to access the camera to the AndroidManifest file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"></uses-permission> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
Xml file :

Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea?
Let me know.
