I can't seem to get my App to save an image, outside of my App folder. I can save internally (image will save to app folder) but not externally. I want to see photos taken with my App in the default device gallery. I believe i have all the required App permissions. Here is my code:
\\MainActivity

using TCmCRS_20;
using Android.App;

using System.IO;
using Xamarin.Essentials;

{
[Activity(Label = "TCmCRS_20", Icon = "@mipmap/icon", Theme = "@style/MainTheme", MainLauncher = true, ConfigurationChanges = ConfigChanges.ScreenSize | ConfigChanges.Orientation)]
public class MainActivity : global::Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.FormsAppCompatActivity
{
protected override async void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
TabLayoutResource = Resource.Layout.Tabbar;
ToolbarResource = Resource.Layout.Toolbar;
base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
Xamarin.Essentials.Platform.Init(this, savedInstanceState);
await CrossMedia.Current.Initialize();

string fileName = "TCmCRS_20_db.db3";
string folderPath = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal);
string completePath = System.IO.Path.Combine(folderPath,fileName);
LoadApplication(new App(completePath));
}
public override void OnRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, string[] permissions, Android.Content.PM.Permission[] grantResults)
{
Xamarin.Essentials.Platform.OnRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
base.OnRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
}
}
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated
