Android Camera: Attempt to invoke virtual method Android Camera Parameters on android.hardware.Camera.getParameters()' on a null object reference
I used my Fabric-service and found this error on most of the devices that are running my app.
Error was this:
Fatal Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.hardware.Camera$Parameters android.hardware.Camera.getParameters()' on a null object reference
Here's my code:

Answer
Check the app in your device Settings, if the required permissions are given or not. In my case, this was the reason for Exception, that I had not given permissions from the Settings.
Hope it helps you.
