Cannot connect camera service

I have used all the permissions required, which are:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" /> 
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="false" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.front" android:required="false" />

And the code which I have used is:

private Camera openFrontFacingCameraGingerbread()
{ int cameraCount = 0;
    Camera cam = null;
    Camera.CameraInfo cameraInfo = new Camera.CameraInfo();
    cameraCount = Camera.getNumberOfCameras();
    for (int camIdx = 0; camIdx < cameraCount; camIdx++)
    { Camera.getCameraInfo(camIdx, cameraInfo);
        if (cameraInfo.facing == Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT)
        { try { cam = Camera.open(camIdx);
        } catch (RuntimeException e)
        { Log.e(TAG, "Camera failed to open: " + e.getLocalizedMessage());
        }
        }
    } return cam;
}

But error is coming up. Logcat error:

Cannot connect camera service

I am using compilesdkversion 23, using my 4.4.2 kitkat HTC 816g mobile to run the application. Anything code related to camera service is not executing.
