Xamarin Android - Convert Image to Base 64

Question

I've found this sample code to convert an image to base 64, I'm not sure how to pass an image into it though. I want to be able to give a path to a specific directory. I've managed to find a file with this code:

byte[] ImageData = File.ReadAllBytes("storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/img.jpg");

But I need to pass that into the following code.

public string ImageToBase64(Image image, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat format) { using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream()) { // Convert Image to byte[] image.Save(ms, format); byte[] imageBytes = ms.ToArray(); // Convert byte[] to Base64 String string base64String = Convert.ToBase64String(imageBytes); return base64String; } }

Hope you can help. Thanks.

byte[] ImageData = File.ReadAllBytes(path_to_file); string base64String = Convert.ToBase64String(ImageData);
