Get imagesource as memory stream or byte array to save locally to device

[davidedu322]

Hi,

From the IDocumentFaceRecognizer result, it returns a face image as an imagesource, but I need it as a byte array or stream. How can I get a reference to the original source, so I can save the image locally to my device?

Thanks

Hi @davidedu322! The original source is platform dependent and does not always exist in form of byte array. You can see how SDK creates ImageSource object on Android and on iOS. You can change the source code of these functions to adapt to your needs for the platform you are targeting.

Thanks for replying, but how do you add the SDK to Xamarin Android using Visual Studios? The documentation only shows integration with Android Studio, Eclipse, and Maven.

I have already tried adding the <BlinkID.Forms.Android> project and connecting the reference, but there are compiling issues.
