Right now I'm trying to make a cross-platform app that will display the stream from the device camera at all times, and periodically take pictures without user input. I'm already digging into the details of how to manage this on iOS and Android directly, at least through mono - but what I'm wondering is if anyone has input on how to manage this with a custom renderer in Xamarin Forms, since I'd still like to use some of the Forms views for this project.
I know the basics of making a custom renderer. But I'm wondering if what I'm talking about is going to be reasonably possible with the Forms setup, since the particular control I'll be adding is pretty custom compared to what Forms normally deals with.
Any input?
