Leadtools.Camera.Xamarin

The Leadtools.Camera.Xamarin namespace is a .NET Standard camera control that supports image capture, video recording, flash, torch, and both auto-focus and touch to focus control. The main class is the CameraView class, a Xamarin.Forms control that allows you to write business code once (without having to write native camera code), and run on both iOS and Android, minimizing your code footprint in the process.

Xamarin Framework Deprecation

As of LEADTOOLS v23, The cross-platform Xamarin framework has been deprecated and replaced with LEADTOOLS .NET MAUI framework.

For any LEADTOOLS Xamarin apps you have already built, we recommend you migrate to the LEADTOOLS .NET MAUI framework. To help you with the migration, review the LEADTOOLS .NET MAUI tutorials to get you started.

This change is driven by Microsoft's announcement to end Xamarin support.

Remarks

With just one line of XAML code to add the control, developers can get started with a basic camera and preview, including the following features:

• Control auto-focus and touch-to-focus features
• Control the Flash and Torch
• Record video up to the device's maximum resolution
• Access the live camera feed to implement custom processing or advanced LEADTOOLS features, including Barcode and OCR

For a quick start in your development, refer to Adding a Basic Xamarin Camera Control.
