Using the Front Camera and toggle cameras

[Ljusnan]

Hi,

I use ZXing.Net with Xamarin on Android and it works pretty good, thank you!

Currently I want to enable users to use the Front Camera and I tried this:

var result = await scanner.Scan(new MobileBarcodeScanningOptions(){UseFrontCameraIfAvailable=true});

But unfortunately this does not work on my test device (Samsung Galaxy S2). I still cannot use the front camera. How to invoke this correctly?

My second question is: Will there be an option to toggle Front and Back Camera? Like I can do now with the flashlight scanner.ToggleTorch()

To answer your question about a toggle, right now, this is a bit of a tricky thing to do since on some devices it will require completely restarting the camera, so for now, unfortunately, no toggle :(

I've started a new issue #122 as an enhancement request for this feature. Thanks.

Okay, thanks a lot!
