Most definitely.

For some things, you can use <uses-configuration> elements in your
manifest to declare what is and is not acceptable in terms of hardware.
Right now, though, there is no such option for specifying you need a
camera, or any particulars about the camera (e.g., minimum number of
megapixels).

I hope not.

Camera.open() either returns a Camera object, or it does not. In the
latter case, you either do not have a camera on the device, or some
other application is using it, so handle that accordingly.

Otherwise, just use the Camera object. I am uncertain what you are
expecting to change between devices.
