When runtime permission WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is missing/denied, calling ImageCapture.takePicture hangs indefinitely. There is an error logged (in a separate process) that indicates the root cause:

```
java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: writing com.android.providers.media.MediaProvider uri content://media/external/images/media from pid=XXXXX, uid=XXXXX requires android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, or grantUriPermission()
```

It seems that `androidx.camera` doesn't handle this error correctly, or at all.

Hi Ed, Thank you so much for these suggestions. I've been reviewing them and merging them in. Hopefully it should be live. I've included a thank you note too in the article.

Marked as fixed.

Thanks for filing this bug.

The onError() of OnImageCapturedCallback/OnImageSavedCallback will be called after this solution is merged, if there is no WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
