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.

            Can a sorcerer learn a 5th-level spell early by creating spell slots using the Font of Magic feature?

            Image
            28 6 $begingroup$ Per the Font of Magic feature, sorcerer can use Flexible Casting to create 5th-level spell slots at level 7, even though they are not typically available until level 9. You can transform unexpended sorcery points into one spell slot as a bonus action on your turn. The Creating Spell Slots table shows the cost of creating a spell slot of [5th level is 7] If such a sorcerer levels up while still having this 5th-level spell slot, can they choose a 5th-level spell as the spell they gain upon levelling up? The Spellcasting feature states: Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sorcerer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the sorcerer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

            mat-slide-toggle shouldn't change it's state when I click cancel in confirmation window

            Image
            1 When I checked the slide toggle it should work as expected. But when I try to uncheck it there is a confirmation window asking if you are sure. When I click cancel in that confirmation window, still the toggle changes to unchecked, which shouldn't happen. It should stay in the same state. Here is my Html and TS Code // html <mat-slide-toggle (change)="change($event)" [checked]="isChecked()" > To-pay </mat-slide-toggle> TS code: // ts change(e) { if(this.checked) { if(confirm("Are you sure")) { console.log("toggle") } else { e.stopPropagation(); console.log("toggle should not change if I click the cancel button") }
