Salesforce1 ---- Unable to access mobile camera

I have written code to access camera from VF page. It is working fine in laptop browser and mobile browser. But when I am trying the same VF page in Salesforce1 app it is not accessing camera.I am using Andriod OS.

I tried 2 approaches, both are not working.

Approach 1: Using <apex:inputFile accept="image/*;capture=camera" />
Page:
<apex:page controller="CameraAccess2" standardStylesheets="false" showHeader="false" docType="html-5.0">
    <apex:form >
        Enter File Description
        <p>
            <apex:inputText value="{!AttachmentName}" />
            <apex:inputFile value="{!attachmentObj.Body}"  accept="image/*;capture=camera" />
        </p>
        <p>
            <apex:commandButton  action="{!saveFile}" value="Save File" />
        </p>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>
 
public class CameraAccess{
    public Attachment attachmentObj {get;set;}
    public String AttachmentName {get;set;}
    public CameraAccess() {
        attachmentObj = new Attachment();
    }     

    public PageReference saveFile()
    {
        attachmentObj.ParentId = '003J000000wGwBR';
        attachmentObj.Name = AttachmentName +'.jpg';
        insert attachmentObj;
        return new PageReference('/003J000000wGwBR');
    }
}

Approach 2: Using Javascript WebCam api.​
 
<apex:page sidebar="false" showHeader="false" standardStylesheets="false">
<apex:includeScript value="{!URLFOR($Resource.jQueryPackageReport, 'package/media/js/jquery-1.11.1.min.js')}"/>

<title>Webcam</title>
<div  style="background-color:#FFF">
    <div  style="padding-top: 2%;padding-bottom: 1%;">
        <div class="col-md-2 col-md-offset-3" >
            <button class="btn btn-primary" style="margin-top:10px" id="snap" >Capture</button>
            <button class="btn btn-primary" style="margin-top:10px;display:none" id="new">Retake</button>    
            <button class="btn btn-primary" style="margin-top:10px;display:none" id="upload">Upload</button>
        </div>


        <div >
            <select class="form-control" style="margin-top:10px" id="videoSource"></select>
        </div>

    </div>
    <div style="padding-top: 2%;padding-bottom: 1%;" >
        <div align="center">
            <canvas id="canvas" style="display:none;border-radius: 15px;" width="240" height="200"></canvas>
            <video class="myvideo" id="video" autoplay="autoplay" style="border-radius: 15px;"></video> 
        </div>
    </div> 

    <div id="el_loading" style="display:none;position: fixed;top:0;background-color: #fbfbfb; height:100%;opacity:0.65;width:100%;">
        <div  style="top: 50%; width: 91px;  margin: 20% 47%;"> 
            <img  src="/img/loading.gif" title="Please Wait..."/>
