Cameraview: How to remove RECORD_AUDIO permission from Manifest

[therealshabi]

I don't want to keep <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO"/> permission in my Manifest plainly due to the fact that I am not using this in my app. But the project does not build if I don't give this permission. Do you have any solution for that?

Version used

I am using com.otaliastudios:cameraview:2.0.0-beta02 version of cameraview

What do you mean with "the project does not build"?

[therealshabi]

I meant App is crashing without any reason

[natario1]

Try disabling audio with cameraAudio="off"

[therealshabi]

No, I actually don't want to keep this permission in the Manifest itself, because I won't be using this.
Moreover, when I'm uploading my app to play store I have to agree to a privacy policy due to this RECORD_AUDIO permission which in my opinion is unnecessary

[natario1]

I understand! Try doing what I said

[therealshabi]

Where do I have to put this cameraAudio = "off" btw?

[natario1]

In the XML definition of your CameraView, or call cameraView.setAudio(Audio.OFF) as soon as you can

[therealshabi]

It's still crashing unfortunately

With what stacktrace?
