Yes, I am testing on the emulator

Yes, I am.

I tried another app using the camera library and another app using the advanced camera library which work on all the other versions of Android.

These two other apps gave the same error message.

Deleted AVD JellyBean 4.1 Created Android_4_1

I deleted the AVD JellyBean and created another AVD Android_4_1 with level 16.

I get the same error on the emulator with all three of my apps which use the camera library or the advanced camera library.

I checked to see if these three apps created a problem with levela 8, 10, 14 and 15 and they worked OK.

I guess I will just wait until Google updates level 16 in the near future. After all, JellyBean is a new version of Android. Maybe, there are a few glitches in the initial release.

I don't think there is a device out there that uses version 4.1 level 16 yet, but they will come and maybe I can load my apps unto one of them.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks a bunch for getting this info to me.

Sooo, what are our options for developing with the camera and advanced camera libraries for the future?

I liked that camera feature within my app because I had control where to place the image files and edit them afterwards.

Maybe, Google will see 'the light' and add the camera function to Jelly Bean like all of the rest of the former versions.

Thanks again - I will no longer fuss about this problem. Perhaps, I will find a a way to use the built in Android camera from within my apps.

Do you mean on the emulator?

Have you tried adding the camera to the emulator emulated hardware:

Version 4.1 Level 16 Emulator

Yes, I added back camera as emulator (not web or not none) to the emulator device Android_4_1 and I got the same error message.

I also tried front camera (without back camera which I deleted from emulator's hardware) as emulator and got the same error message.

Maybe, I will just leave it alone for awhile because I might be missing a step somewhere along the line.

Thanks again, for helping me. Cheers Ray
