If you have an old nexus 7, you have to add
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="false"/>

There is no `android:required` attribute on a `` element. You are perhaps thinking of ``: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html#permissions – CommonsWare Mar 20 '14 at 13:57
Currently I have: / If I set it to false wont it will be a problem in other devices? Should I check to see if a camera is available at runtime before using it? – boaz rose Mar 20 '14 at 15:22
Yes. You have to check it programmatically if the camera is available. Also if you used only the back camera you should consider to use the front facing camera if the main camera is missing if the camera feature is a must for your app. – Alex Mar 21 '14 at 05:37

If you have an Old Nexus 7 you will have to add this to your manifest :

 <compatible-screens>
    <screen
        android:screenDensity="213"
        android:screenSize="large" />
</compatible-screens>

That is only true if the manifest has a `` element already. – CommonsWare Mar 20 '14 at 14:16
Indeed but i am not sure that the Old Nexus 7 can be targeted with `` since it is in tvdi density. – Freego Mar 20 '14 at 14:40
`` has nothing to do with screen density. It does not constrain distribution by density, so all densities work. – CommonsWare Mar 20 '14 at 14:55
