I am trying to find a camera sample for android because I would love to mess with it and see what I can do. I am using the sample code from "Import an android code sample" and using Camera2. I somewhat get how it works however I would want to try it on my phone which is android 4.4 and 5.0 is the only required version. the minimum sdk is 5.0 and if changed error is. `Error:Execution failed for task ':Application:processDebugTestManifest'.

com.android.manifmerger.ManifestMerger2$MergeFailureException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 20; columnNumber: 10; The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.`

the error is this and it says "Declarations must proceed all document content" It also says cannot resolve symbol for camera2basic

<instrumentation
        android:name="android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner"
        android:targetPackage="com.example.android.camera2basic"
        android:label="Tests for com.example.android.camera2basic" />

So my question is Is there a way to make it accessible to more than just lollop? Or is there another sample code that is out there that I can use to play with and mess around with

  • If it helps any more. All I would like to do is have a screen display what the camera sees. there will be no picture taking. – Ryan Feb 19 '15 at 08:21

The camera2 API does not exist prior to Android 5.0, so you cannot use it on a device running Android 4.4.

You can follow the API guide for the older camera API here instead: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/camera.html#custom-camera
