I was working with the OpenCV tutorial code for camera app on android. I encountered the same error, and after looking at the answers I indeed missed one permission. 

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

Although the app doesn't save any data externally, without this permission, the access denied error occurs. Hope it helps.
