i want to save ImageSource result from screen shoot in maui. i found error in casting :
System.InvalidCastException: 'Specified cast is not valid.'
Main:
using ScreenShot.ViewModel;
namespace ScreenShot;
public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
private readonly MainViewModel viewModel;
public MainPage(MainViewModel viewModel)
{
InitializeComponent();
BindingContext = this.viewModel = viewModel;
}
}
and xaml code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"

x:DataType="vm:MainViewModel"
x:Class="ScreenShot.MainPage">
<ScrollView>
<VerticalStackLayout

Padding="30,0"
VerticalOptions="Center">
<Image
Source="dotnet_bot.png"
SemanticProperties.Description="Cute dot net bot waving hi to you!"

HorizontalOptions="Center" />
<Button HorizontalOptions="Center" Text="Take screen shot" Command="{Binding TakeScreenShotCommand}" />
<Image Source="{Binding ScreenGrab}" />
</VerticalStackLayout>
</ScrollView>
</ContentPage>
Service Class:
namespace ScreenShot
{
public class AndroidService : MyService
{
public async void Convert(string filename, ImageSource img)
{
var handler = new FileImageSourceHandler();
Bitmap pic = await handler.LoadImageAsync(img, Android.App.Application.Context);//here the error (Casting Error)
var savedImageFilename = Path.Combine("/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/CAMERA", filename);
Stream outputStream;
using (outputStream = new FileStream(savedImageFilename, FileMode.Create))
{
bool success;
if (Path.GetExtension(filename).ToLower() == ".png")
{
success = await pic.CompressAsync(Bitmap.CompressFormat.Png, 100, outputStream);
}
else
success = await pic.CompressAsync(Bitmap.CompressFormat.Jpeg, 100, outputStream);
}
}
}
}
View Model:
using CommunityToolkit.Mvvm.ComponentModel;
using CommunityToolkit.Mvvm.Input;
namespace ScreenShot.ViewModel;
public partial class MainViewModel : ObservableObject
{
private readonly MyService myService;
public MainViewModel(MyService myService)
{
this.myService = myService;
}
[ObservableProperty]
ImageSource _screenGrab;
[RelayCommand]
async Task TakeScreenShot()
{
ScreenGrab = await TakeScreenshotAsync();
myService.Convert("abcd", ScreenGrab);
}
private async Task<ImageSource> TakeScreenshotAsync()
{
if (Screenshot.Default.IsCaptureSupported)
{
IScreenshotResult screen = await Screenshot.Default.CaptureAsync();
Stream stream = await screen.OpenReadAsync();
return ImageSource.FromStream(() => stream);
}
return null;
}
}
Interface:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace ScreenShot
{
public interface MyService
{
public void Convert(string filename, ImageSource img);
}
}
Services builder:
using ScreenShot.ViewModel;
namespace ScreenShot;
public static class MauiProgram
{
public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
{
var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
builder
.UseMauiApp<App>()
.ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
{
fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
});
builder.Services.AddSingleton<MainViewModel>();
builder.Services.AddSingleton<MainPage>();
builder.Services.AddSingleton<MyService, AndroidService>();
return builder.Build();
}
}
the error result in Service Class file mention above due to ivalid casting is there a way to solve problem?
