    <zxing:ZXingScannerView Grid.Row="1" x:Name="_scanView" OnScanResult="Handle_OnScanResult" IsScanning="true" WidthRequest="200" HeightRequest="200"  />

You can do it in the Options which is of type MobileBarcodeScanningOptions. That has a property called UseFrontCameraIfAvailable.



To set it from code, do this: _scanView.Options = new MobileBarcodeScanningOptions { UseFrontCameraIfAvailable = true; }



From XAML is a bit more extensive but not undoable:



<zxing:ZXingScannerView Grid.Row="1" x:Name="_scanView" OnScanResult="Handle_OnScanResult" IsScanning="true" WidthRequest="200" HeightRequest="200">
<zxing:ZXingScannerView.Options>
<zxcore:MobileBarcodeScanningOptions UseFrontCameraIfAvailable="true" />
</zxing:ZXingScannerView.Options>
</zxing:ZXingScannerView>


You might need to import a different XAML namespace for the options object. I don't have an actual project at hand to try, but I'm sure you will figure that one out.
