How to choose a photo From Phone album?

In Xamarin.iOS Application for choose a photo from album .we need to use UIImagePickerController

Follow below step for show photo album Controller

1. Create the image picker control

Var Imagepicker=new UIImagePickerController();

2. Set the Source and media Type

Imagepicker.SourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.PhotoLibrary;

Imagepicker.MediaTypes = UIImagePickerController.AvailableMediaTypes (UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.PhotoLibrary);

3.Create Delegate event for image chose & cancel image selection.

Imagepicker.FinishedPickingMedia += Handle_FinishedPickingMedia;

Imagepicker.Canceled += Handle_Canceled;

4.Show Image controller

NavigationController.PresentModalViewController(Imagepicker, true);

5. Implement Image choose event

protected void Handle_FinishedPickingMedia (object sender, UIImagePickerMediaPickedEventArgs e)
{
// determine what was selected, video or image
bool isImage = false;
switch(e.Info[UIImagePickerController.MediaType].ToString()) {
case "public.image":
// get the original image
UIImage originalImage = e.Info[UIImagePickerController.OriginalImage] as UIImage;
if(originalImage != null) {
// do something with the image
Console.WriteLine ("got the original image");
imageView.Image = originalImage; // display
break;
case "public.video":
Console.WriteLine("Video selected");
break;
}
// dismiss the picker
imagePicker.DismissModalViewControllerAnimated (true);
}
6 .Cancel Image controller
void Handle_Canceled (object sender, EventArgs e) {
Imagepicker.DismissModalViewControllerAnimated(true);
}
