Why does the front camera not open, when using Camera2 API?

Question

I am using Camera2 API ( https://github.com/googlearchive/android-Camera2Basic ) for my project. I want to use Front and Rear both camera, It's working properly on my device Realme5 Android: 10 But when I am trying to use front camera on One Plus 6, Android: 10 or Samsung Galaxy J7 Nxt, Android 7.0 Or Redmi. Then I am going on onConfigureFailed method and it's redirect me firstActivity Manifest ScreenShots : enter image description here

Whole code in googlearchive GitHub link is given above

Variable Initialisation

 private static final SparseIntArray ORIENTATIONS = new SparseIntArray();

    ORIENTATIONS.append(Surface.ROTATION_0, 90);
    ORIENTATIONS.append(Surface.ROTATION_90, 0);
    ORIENTATIONS.append(Surface.ROTATION_180, 270);
    ORIENTATIONS.append(Surface.ROTATION_270, 180);
}
public static int  mSelectedFacing = 1;

                        try {
                            // Auto focus should be continuous for camera preview.

                            setAutoFlash(mPreviewRequestBuilder);

                            // Finally, we start displaying the camera preview.

Please help me … Thanks in advance

I have do like it will capture image in background without any preview screen using Camera2 API in background service.

Visit https://codepalyers.blogspot.com/2020/12/capture-image-in-background-without.html

If you wish to use rear camera use private final String frontCamera = "1"; private final String backCamera = "0"; as already define in code.
