#100DaysOfCodeChallenge - Crop Management Information System - Day 8

Recap

On Day 7 we made an attempt to implement the camera functionality but the method await _picker.getImage(source: ImageSource.camera); threw an error that I was unable to troubleshoot. The following error was thrown.

Exception has occurred.
PlatformException (PlatformException(no_available_camera, No cameras available for taking pictures., null, null))
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Overview

In this post we'll discuss the solution to the error from Day 7.

After searching online for a solution and much frustration I found the solution in this github issue. The solution that worked for me was to change targetSdkVersion 30 to targetSdkVersion 29. The property can be found in the android/app/build.gradle file.

Wrap Up

As a developer, getting stuck on an error is inevitable. Fortunately, you are likely not the first person to get stuck on that error. A diligent google search e.g. github issues or stackoverflow will usually reveal a solution to the problem.
