Currently, the Camera app attempts to acquire the camera hardware up to 3 times (1000ms between requests). If the camera hardware cannot be acquired, however, the app currently gives up and the user can only see a blank viewfinder. An error message should be shown in a full-screen overlay if the hardware cannot be acquired after 3 attempts.

This is a really simple "Camera" app that can be installed via WebIDE. It does not release the camera hardware in the background, so it should cause a problem for the Gaia Camera app if it is running in the background.

Moving patch over from Bug 1079543 since this patch is exclusive to adding the error message overlay and has nothing to do with the WebRTC blocking issue.
