Surface View, Front Camera Issue

[Smaug]

Hello, I’m trying to show a live preview of the front camera using Surface View component.
I think it has some problem or maybe I’m doing something wrong.

There is no problem to show back camera’s live preview but when to try to show front camera preview, it shows only back screen. I tried everything.

Same issue in Companion and exported APK.
Both companion and APK have all the permission accepted.

I used two different phones and the issue was still there on both of the phones.
1st phone - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 PRO (Android 9)
2nd phone - Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 (Android 7) (Custom ROM - RR) (Rooted)

APK: test.apk (4.8 MB)
AIA: test.aia (2.0 KB)

Blocks:

Yeah, sorry. I forget to add that block but the problem is still there. I completely changed the block but still black screen.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a solution, neither anyone told me yet. I don’t understand what is the issue but there is an “issue” for sure.

When I made my fun Tools I had the same problem. I solved it with following procedure:Switch from portrait to landscape and back.

It says when using the Front Camera, “Cannot find camera service” or something close to it.
