Install, open and use uTorch, then try opening the camera-app, you'll see that the app will fail to use the camera (probably because uTorch is using a piece of that).
We should show something to the user indicating that the app can't use the camera hardware probably because another app has a lock on it, or similar, so he knows he needs to close those other apps before using the camera.

On Android I get the following message, when trying to use the camera-app after enabling flashlight from an external app:
'Camera error
Can't connect to the camera.'
