MediaPicker CapturePhotoAsync need parameter for rear or front camera

[bhuwancb99]

Description

In the MediaPicker, the CapturePhotoAsync method currently does not provide an option to select either the rear or front camera. Please consider adding a parameter inside MediaPickerOptions to specify the desired camera type (front or back). This would make it easier to use the camera.

In my project, I need to use the front camera for taking pictures when the user punches in the system. I've tried multiple approaches without success. I also attempted the following code for Android:

intent.PutExtra("android.intent.extras.CAMERA_FACING", 1);

However, it did not work. I want this same functionality for both Android and iOS, as I plan to integrate it into my two mobile applications.

Public API Changes

new MediaPickerOptions { Title = GlobalResource.SELECT_A_IMAGE, CameraLocation=CameraLocation.Front })

Intended Use-Case

FileResult photo = await MediaPicker.Default.CapturePhotoAsync(new MediaPickerOptions { Title = GlobalResource.SELECT_A_IMAGE });
