How to load Image from gallery in the .NET MAUI ImageEditor (SfImageEditor)?

The Syncfusion .NET MAUI Image Editor (SfImageEditor) allows you to load image from gallery. The following demonstration helps you to understand how to load image from gallery using MediaPicker.

MAUI:

Initialize the ImageEditor and trigger the Tapped event using the TapGestureRecognizer.

<Grid>
   <imageEditor:SfImageEditor x:Name="imageEditor" IsVisible="false"/>
   <Image x:Name="openGallery" HeightRequest="50" WidthRequest="50" Grid.Row="0" Source="gallery.png">
       <Image.GestureRecognizers>
           <TapGestureRecognizer Tapped="OpenGalleryTapped" NumberOfTapsRequired="1" />
       </Image.GestureRecognizers>
   </Image>
</Grid>

C#:

Here, use the PickPhotoAsync method of MediaPicker and provide an image source for the image to be loaded. Follow the following code sample for better understanding.

async void OpenGalleryTapped(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   var result = await MediaPicker.PickPhotoAsync();
   {
       if (result == null)
       {
           return;
       }
       ImageSource imageSource = ImageSource.FromStream(() => result.OpenReadAsync().Result);
       this.imageEditor.Source = imageSource;
       this.imageEditor.IsVisible = true;
       this.openGallery.IsVisible = false;
   }
}
