Camera status is READY, but takePictureAsync throwing "Camera is not running"

[SirCameron]

Bug Report

To Do First

• Did you try latest release?
• Did you try master?
• Did you look for existing matching issues?

Platforms
Android

Versions

• Android: Pie on emulator on mac os
• iOS: works fine here.
• react-native-camera: 3.19.0
• react-native: 0.61.5
• react: 16.9.0

Description/Current Behaviour
onStatusChange is responding that the camera is READY, but when attempting to take a picture with takePictureAsync, the error thrown is that the "camera is not running".

Expected Behaviour
For the 2 statuses to be in sync and the camera to take a picture.

Steps to Reproduce

Honestly, this is a big project so I can't run through that. It works perfectly on IOS.

This is all ok on a real device. So not urgent.

Shouldn't you be using onCameraReady instead? I believe onStatusChange reports the permission status (and that the camera will eventually load), but it necessarily means that the camera has been fully initialized and ready to take pictures.

Please let me know what you think. Perhaps the docs needs some updates in regard to these two events.

Pass function onCameraReady to RNCamera which trigger when camera ready for preview so you can start recording or take a picture then

I'm closing this because what @NooruddinLakhani told above will make it work as you want @SirCameron. So, try to do that, and let us know, please!
