Here is my Fragment.CS

Well now I see your mistake its actually very simple you get the null reference because of the following reasons

1.OnCreateView does not contain a definition of View basically what I mean here is View is a class which you are using as an object of that class.

2.The actual way I recommend using fragments is first you define it an XML or an AXML as its foreground view in on OnCreateView as follows :

 return inflater.Inflate(Resource.Layout.ScanLayout, null);

3.Override the OnViewCreated method and use its View to do all your work as follows :

 public override void OnViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    base.OnViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
    imageView =view.FindViewById<ImageView>(Resource.Id.Iv_ScanImg);
    var btnCamera =view. FindViewById<Button>(Resource.Id.btnCamera);

    btnCamera.Click += BtnCamera_Click;

}

Goodluck!
