Images are selected from Gallery itself and taking photo from camera. but when i try with camera it's not opening. I dont know why? also, i added required camera permission in my manifest.xml.

Solution

I got your issue i think you need to add <uses-feature> for camera like:

<uses-feature
    android:name="android.hardware.camera"
    android:required="true" />

It's becoz requesting the permission grants your application access to the appropriate hardware and software, while declaring the features used by your application ensures proper device compatibility.

Try this and give me feedback on this. For more information go to http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html
