Hi Taifun,
Thanks but it didn't answer my question, because I want to show the real time feed from my own camera on my phone.
Is it possible?
Thanks!
Gil.

Yes it possible!

It depend what media you OWN camera send out. That mean how it configuration is made.

You can conf. it differently, it depend what camera you have.

If only  .jpg pictures: Sample: http://www.veebikaamera.ee/fl/live/teletorn_1_levira.jpg it easy.

or rtsp stream:

rtsp://193.40.133.138/live/virukatus 

or .m3u8 stream:

http://193.40.133.138/live/virukatus/playlist.m3u8

Some streams are playable through AI2 Video Player but some you need to play with Activity Starter.

Hi,
Thanks,
I mean the camera of my phone.
I want to make an app for my galaxy s5 that shows what the camera sees.
Is that possible?
Thank you.

in this case the answer is: unfortunately not possible, you can't access the camera to take a picture or show what the camera sees programmatically
