Description

In my xamaring android application using camera capture intent to capture the image and upload it. However the intent is returned as null.

My code is like

///////**********  Cameracapture code
Intent camIntent= new Intent(MediaStore.ActionImageCapture);
var file = new File(imageStorageDir + File.Separator + "IMG_" + DateTime.Now.Ticks + ".jpg");
                           var  mPhotoUri = Android.Net.Uri.FromFile(file);
                            camIntent.PutExtra(MediaStore.ExtraOutput, mPhotoUri); 
File imageStorageDir = new File(DownloadDirectory, DOWNLOAD_FOLDER);
                            StartActivityForResult(camIntent, 0); 



////////******** MainActivity

protected override void OnActivityResult(int requestCode, Result resultCode, Intent intent)
{
   
	if (intent != null && intent.DataString != null)
	{
		// my logic when image captured goes here. But image is not being captured
		// Here the intent is always received as null and resultCode as CANCELED
	}
}

Steps to Reproduce

1. Select camera when prompted from intent
2. Capture Image
3. Select captured Image

Did you find any workaround?

No as of now.

Ultimately, all Xamarin.Android does is provide generated wrappers that allow you to call Google’s Android API. We do not have much expertise in how to use those API’s properly.

You will likely need to use the Android API documentation and relevant forums to determine how to write code for your desired outcome.
