Hello,

I am actualy refering to Visual Studio 2019, Xamarin, C#, on Android.

Would appreciate if someone is willing to share C# source code to capture a picture from the front camera (selfie) but without preview and without the need to click on a button.

Thank you,

Avi Landman.

Camera cam = null;
var cameraInfo = new Camera.CameraInfo();

for (var i = 0; i < Camera.NumberOfCameras; i++) {
    Camera.GetCameraInfo(i, cameraInfo);

    if (cameraInfo.Facing == CameraFacing.Front)
        cam = Camera.Open(i);
}

Hello Sachin Singh,
Thank you for your reply to my issue.
I am not sure that this will work on Visual Studio Xamarin 2019 C# Android.
Could you please help me a little more if that is not too much to ask?
Do you have a simple short working source code?
