Android my app prevents camera from recording

I made an app which uses cordova plugin to run a SIPML5 web app.
When my app runs in background, if i open camera, the record button is disabled.
If I kill the app, sometimes the record button is enabled again.
I don't know how to fix this. My app does not uses.
Here is my manifest:

Thanks,

It's because, unfortunately, two android apps cannot have access to the same mic at the same time. This is a broadcast issue and so because of your "record audio" permission, your camera won't be able to record.
Here's another link of people trying to do the same: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36982217

Any help is appreciated.

registering for custom uri, still not working

I tried to invoke my app when http:// is been tapped, an popup should ask me to launch it in my app or in browser.

“://” is not part of the scheme name. Use just “http”.

Google Play excludes devices

I have the following AndroidManifest.xml:

As you can see it uses the ZXing library to read a barcode. The app however is not getting shown on certrain devices (such as the Nexus 7) in Google Play.
How can I include ALL devices since I do my error handling inside the App itself (For example show dialogs if camera is not available etc.)?

Use uses-feature as well as this at the end: android:required="false"
Also I'm not sure if you need the support any-density part in your AndroidManifest.

instead of uses-permission use uses-feature and set the flag to optional
uses-permission sets uses-feature to required by default
