Ionic-cordova-qrscanner black screen (android kitkat)

#1

not able to see camera, black screen appearing.
checked the chrome inspect logs, says we have the camera permission and everything, background is also transparent till html(checked that thoroughly), just the screen appears black. seems like camera has not started.

any hints? should I use ionic android permissions?

#2

have you got any other plugin which tries to access camera as well?

I am experiencing similar issue when trying to use cordova-camera-preview with cordova-plugin-qrscanner.
In my case it seems like preview of camera-preview plugin is blocking preview for qrscanner.
As of now i have no solution.
