I have faced a lot of issues while using integrating camera native/camera2 api. The code was bulky. To avoid complexity and compatibility issues google provide new CameraX api in new android jetpack library. See the google provided documentation https://developer.android.com/training/camerax. There is also a Kotlin based library i found on github https://github.com/robertlevonyan/CameraXDemo. You can get more clearity with less code.
Waged right!!! A permission request is required. And I found the right code. he works. I advise you to look at this article to initially connect the camera: https://habr.com/ru/post/112272/
if(ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this, Manifest.permission.CAMERA) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new String[] {Manifest.permission.CAMERA}, 15); }
