When running an app on emulator you get "cant use camera or camera is locked"
PROBLEM
Solution: you must in newest SDKs in the emulator explicity set the permission to use hardware features ---eventhough you have made the request in your AndroidManifest.xml file --with older SDKs this was not required
STEP 1: go to settings on emulator
STEP 2: go to Apps
Step 3: choose your app
Step 3: Select your app
Step 4: Choose Permissions
Step 4: Turn on desired permissions
(here turning on camera)
