How to enable Gallery Scan

The SDK allows you to decode barcodes from image files. It supports several image formats, including BMP, PNG, and JPG.

                 private async void scanFromGallery(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Ensure the media plugin is initialized
        await CrossMedia.Current.Initialize();

        if (!CrossMedia.Current.IsPickPhotoSupported)
        {
            // Gallery picking is not supported on this device
            await DisplayAlert("Error", "Gallery picking is not supported on this device.", "OK");
            return;
        }

        // Pick an image from the gallery
        var mediaFile = await CrossMedia.Current.PickPhotoAsync(new PickMediaOptions
        {
            PhotoSize = PhotoSize.Medium,
        });

        if (mediaFile == null)
            return; // User canceled

        using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
        {
            await mediaFile.GetStream().CopyToAsync(memoryStream);
            byte[] imageBytes = memoryStream.ToArray();
            string base64String = Convert.ToBase64String(imageBytes);

            BKDView.ScanImage(base64String, this);
        }
    }
