So, kindly support me to resolve this issue.

We have not seen this error while testing on our collection of test devices. So please give us the model and OS version of the devices where you encounter the problem.

The error itself doesn't seem to be inside our product. It is either an error in camera implementation on that particular device or due to improper use of the camera in our sampe/your application.
If the former is true then there is very little we can do - I would recommend that you catch the exception and fall back on some other focusing method on these devices. If the latter is true - then you should review the camera usage and find the error. If we knew the cause, we would be willing to advise. But unfortunately we are as ignorant as anyone on the issue and would appritiate advice from you
