    Description

      After applying patch from QTBUG-43752 it becames possible to use Qt Quick Camera and show preview.

      However camera initialization may fail randomly when FrontFace camera is used by default (available since Qt 5.4):

          Camera {
              position: Camera.FrontFace
          }
      

      It seems that QCamera uses back camera as default device and when front camera is specified as default device we will get the following behaviour:

      • QCamera::start is called for back camera
      • QCamera::unload is called for back camera
      • QCamera::start is called for front camera

      The latest call fails randomly in BbCameraSession::startViewFinder on this check:

          if (result != CAMERA_EOK) {
              qWarning() << "Unable to start viewfinder:" << result;
              return false;
          }
      

      My workaround is to call applyConfiguration directly in BbCameraSession::setState instead of queueing it with invokeMethod.
      I have not found any regression after this change and I see no reason why we must use invokeMethod
