I want to save images to gallery which is in the drawable folder. I built an app to take pictures and save it in the gallery in xamarin forms by using the following article.
https://xamarinhelp.com/use-camera-take-photo-xamarin-forms/
private async void SaveButton_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e){
var photo = await Plugin.Media.CrossMedia.Current.TakePhotoAsync(new Plugin.Media.Abstractions.StoreCameraMediaOptions()
{
PhotoSize = PhotoSize.Medium,
CompressionQuality = 92,
SaveToAlbum = true, //saves to image gallery
Directory = "MyFolder2",
Name = $"{DateTime.Now}_documenttypeXYZ.jpg"
});
}
the above article is using media plugin https://github.com/jamesmontemagno/MediaPlugin/blob/master/README.md#saving-photovideo-to-camera-rollgallery to take pictures and save it.
But i don't know how to save the images to gallery which are in the drawable folder.
