Answer 1

However, not all Android devices actually have these hardware features. So if your app requests the CAMERA permission, it's important that you also include the <uses-feature> tag in your manifest to declare whether or not this feature is actually required. For more information, see Google Play and feature-based filtering

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="your package" >
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
    <uses-permission  android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera2.full" />
    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

From Marshmallow, Dangerous permissions are:

1. READ_CALENDAR
2. WRITE_CALENDAR
3. CAMERA
4. READ_CONTACTS
5. WRITE_CONTACTS
6. GET_ACCOUNTS
7. ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
8. ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
9. RECORD_AUDIO
10. READ_PHONE_STATE
11. CALL_PHONE
12. READ_CALL_LOG
13. WRITE_CALL_LOG
14. ADD_VOICEMAIL
15. USE_SIP
16. PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS
17. BODY_SENSORS
18. SEND_SMS
19. RECEIVE_SMS
20. READ_SMS
21. RECEIVE_WAP_PUSH
22. RECEIVE_MMS
23. READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
24. WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

SO i think Permission may be required...

Answer 2

The issue is the revoked permission ("with revoked permission android.permission.CAMERA"). Normally, you do not need permission, but if you ask for permission (say, in a previous build of your app), and the user revokes that permission, then you cannot use ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE.

Answer 3

Add below lines in your Manifest.xml :

<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.camera.any"
android:required="true" />

<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus"
android:required="false" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
