android.hardware.camera2.CameraManager cameraManager = (android.hardware.camera2.CameraManager) getSystemService(Context.CAMERA_SERVICE);
try {
String cameraId = cameraManager.getCameraIdList()[0]; cameraManager.setTorchMode(cameraId, true);
flashLightStatus = true; imageview1.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_flash_on_black); } catch (android.hardware.camera2.CameraAccessException e) { }

10. In More Block flashLightOff, use add source directly block and put following code:
android.hardware.camera2.CameraManager cameraManager = (android.hardware.camera2.CameraManager) getSystemService(Context.CAMERA_SERVICE);
try {
String cameraId = cameraManager.getCameraIdList()[0]; cameraManager.setTorchMode(cameraId, false);
flashLightStatus = false; imageview1.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_flash_off_black); } catch (android.hardware.camera2.CameraAccessException e) { }
