The Syncfusion® .NET MAUI Image Editor (SfImageEditor) allows you to load an image from the gallery. The following instructions guide you through this process using MediaPicker. MAUI: Initialize the Image Editor and use the TapGestureRecognizer to trigger the event for opening the gallery. <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#: Utilize the PickPhotoAsync method from the MediaPicker to set the image source. Here’s how you can implement it: 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; } Conclusion: I hope you enjoyed learning how to load an image from the gallery in the .NET MAUI Image Editor (SfImageEditor).

C# UIImagePickerController imagePicker; void UploadFromGallery() { imagePicker = new UIImagePickerController(); imagePicker.SourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.PhotoLibrary; imagePicker.MediaTypes = UIImagePickerController.AvailableMediaTypes(UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.PhotoLibrary); imagePicker.FinishedPickingMedia += ImagePicker_FinishedPickingMedia; ; imagePicker.Canceled += (sender, evt) => { imagePicker.DismissModalViewController(true); }; this.PresentViewController(imagePicker, true, null); } void ImagePicker_FinishedPickingMedia(object sender, UIImagePickerMediaPickedEventArgs e) { imagePicker.DismissModalViewController(true); imageEditor.Image = e.OriginalImage; }
How to Load an Image from Gallery in ImageEditor Xamarin.Android? Description: This article explains you to load an Image from Gallery to the Image Editor. Solution: Create a Xamarin application and initialize SfImageEditor control in it by using the below code. Import the SfImageEditor as shown below, using Syncfusion.SfImageEditor.Android; C# static Intent mainIntent; private static int SELECT_FROM_GALLERY = 0; internal static string Path { get; set; } SfImageEditor editor; protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle) { base.OnCreate(bundle); editor = new SfImageEditor(this); SetContentView(editor); } Load an Image from Gallery to the image editor by call the InitializeMediaPicker method as shown in below. C# public void InitializeMediaPicker() { Intent = new Intent(); Intent.SetType("image/*"); Intent.SetAction(Intent.ActionGetContent); StartActivityForResult(Intent.CreateChooser(Intent, "Select Picture"), SELECT_FROM_GALLERY); } private string GetPathToImage(Android.Net.Uri uri) { string imgId = ""; using (var c1 = ContentResolver.Query(uri, null, null, null, null)) { c1.MoveToFirst(); string imageId = c1.GetString(0); imgId = imageId.Substring(imageId.LastIndexOf(":") + 1); } string path = null; string selection = MediaStore.Images.Media.InterfaceConsts.Id + " =? "; using (var cursor = ContentResolver.Query(MediaStore.Images.Media.ExternalContentUri, null, selection, new string[] { imgId }, null)) { if (cursor == null) return path; var columnIndex = cursor.GetColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.InterfaceConsts.Data); cursor.MoveToFirst(); path = cursor.GetString(columnIndex); } return path; } Set the Captured image from Camera to the ImageEditor as Bitmap Only. So you need to set the Bitmap as shown in below protected override void OnActivityResult(int requestCode, [GeneratedEnum] Result resultCode, Intent data) { if (data == null) data = mainIntent; if ((resultCode != Result.Ok) || (data == null)) { return; } if (resultCode == Result.Ok) { var uri = data.Data; if (requestCode == SELECT_FROM_GALLERY) { try { Path = GetPathToImage(uri); editor.Bitmap = BitmapFactory.DecodeFile(Path); } catch (Exception ex) { } } else return; } }
