How to get the image source, from nativescript-camera plugin

var camera = require("nativescript-camera");

// You might want to request camera permissions first
// check demo folder for sample implementation

camera.takePicture({width:300,height:300,keepAspectRatio:true})
  .then((imageAsset) => {
      let source = new imageSource.ImageSource();
      source.fromAsset(imageAsset).then((source) => {
        // now you have the image source    
        // pass it to the cropper                
      });
  }).catch((err) => {
      console.log("Error -> " + err.message);
  });

Additional notes for Android

You can override library colors just specifying colors with the same names in your colors.xml file. For example:

<color name="ucrop_color_toolbar">#000000</color>

This will make toolbar color black if specified inside your App_Resources/Android/values/colors.xml file.

    })
    .then(function(selection) {
        selection.forEach(function(selected) {
            selected.getImageAsync(source => {
                const selectedImgSource = imageSource.fromNativeSource(source);
