import android.support.media.ExifInterface;
This line in CameraUtils.java:11 seems to be wrong.It cannot find the "media" class.
import android.media.ExifInterface;
This statement seems to be right.
So, is it a SDK version problem?And which version should i use?
You can use CameraLogger.setLogLevel(LEVEL_VERBOSE)
to add logs to logcat, and CameraLogger.registerLogger()
to handle logs yourself (e.g. export to file or a crash reporting service)
so you can collect data from your users.

There might be something weird in your build file, because we are using the support ExifInterface library and the class path is correct: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/media/ExifInterface.html

You need to add

implementation "com.android.support:exifinterface:$supportLibraryVersion"

into dependencies in your build.gradle file. Note: The $supportLibraryVersion variable is defined outside dependencies like this

ext.supportLibraryVersion = '27.1.1'

implementation 'androidx.exifinterface:exifinterface:1.0.0' if use android x
