I have tried to get profileImage click to allow the user to set up the profile image, but at whenever i click the image in the the app, nothing is showing up.At some point the app fail to respond. what could be the problem. I have installed all the plugin needed and done all I think was expected.

I have also realized that some issues reflects in my code in visual studio as attached picture. enter image description here

"not successful" is not a useful description of the problem. What specifically is happening (or not) when the code runs? Are you getting an error or exception? — Jason, Jul 12 '20 at 12:11
whenever i click on the image in the app, nothing is happening. in fact the app stop responding. — Martin, Jul 12 '20 at 12:15
So the alert does not show? Have you stepped through your code in the debugger to determine which line is freezing? Have you checked the log for any relevant messages? — Jason, Jul 12 '20 at 12:22
just realized there some issues displaying in the visual studio on code which I don't understand the reason, or how to go about it. i have edited the question with the error screenshot attached — Martin, Jul 12 '20 at 12:31
please do NOT post code or errors as images. Have you googled that error message? — Jason, Jul 12 '20 at 12:35

First,check your Activity,Whetherit has the attribute Theme.

[Activity(Label = "@string/app_name", Theme = "@style/MyTheme", MainLauncher = true)]
public class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity

you could define a theme in your Resources/values/styles.xml:

<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    ...
</style>

Second,if your activity extends AppCompatActivity,you should use the theme theme.appcompat.xxx

Update :

try to change

Android.Support.V7.App.AlertDialog.Builder photoAlert = new Android.Support.V7.App.AlertDialog.Builder(Android.App.Application.Context);

to

Android.Support.V7.App.AlertDialog.Builder photoAlert = new Android.Support.V7.App.AlertDialog.Builder(Activity);

@Martin It's my mistake,you should change the context when you create the AlertDialog.I update the answer above. – Leo Zhu Jul 13 '20 at 08:38
Is there a way I can define the theme for fragment, instead of for activity – Martin Jul 13 '20 at 08:58
@Martin Theme is the attribute of activity.Could it work like the update above ? – Leo Zhu Jul 13 '20 at 09:00
