I am working towards a camera app that can record video from the two back cameras on a phone. I have an OpenCamera function that is able to open the main back camera, but fails to open the ultrawide camera. Any insight into how to work with the multicamera API would be greatly appreciated

The below function opens the first camera, but fails to open the second. The ultraWideCallback reaches the error condition.

private void openCamera() { 

    CameraManager manager = (CameraManager) getSystemService(Context.CAMERA_SERVICE); 
    CameraManager ultraWideManager = (CameraManager) getSystemService(Context.CAMERA_SERVICE);
    Log.e(TAG, "is camera open"); 
    try { 
        cameraId = manager.getCameraIdList()[0];
        ultraWideID = ultraWideManager.getCameraIdList()[2];        
        CameraCharacteristics characteristics = manager.getCameraCharacteristics(cameraId);
        StreamConfigurationMap map = characteristics.get(CameraCharacteristics.SCALER_STREAM_CONFIGURATION_MAP);
        assert map != null;
        imageDimension = map.getOutputSizes(SurfaceTexture.class)[0];

        // Add permission for camera and let user grant the permission
        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.CAMERA) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.CAMERA, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, REQUEST_CAMERA_PERMISSION);
            return;
        }

        // This call works
        manager.openCamera(cameraId, stateCallback, null);

        // The below code does not open the second camera
        CameraCharacteristics ultraWideCharacteristics = manager.getCameraCharacteristics(ultraWideID);
        StreamConfigurationMap ultraWideMap = ultraWideCharacteristics.get(CameraCharacteristics.SCALER_STREAM_CONFIGURATION_MAP);
        assert ultraWideMap != null;

        ultraWideManager.openCamera(ultraWideID, ultraWideCallback, null);

    } catch (CameraAccessException e) {
        e.printStackTrace(); // No exception occurs
    }
    Log.e(TAG, "openCamera");
}
