I've found the solution but never updated the question.

The camera can be access through the WebCamTexture API. (Not intuitive/right name but it works)

i am trying to run my camera on my phone (android api 24, Cubot Magic).

running this code :

     WebCamDevice[] devices = WebCamTexture.devices;

my devices list is empty and has no devices.

i did remember to ask for permission to the camera and the app actually asks me that.

any idea what is happening?
