Android: Specific Avif image fails to load

[armanimichael]

Description

Hello, I'm having a peculiar issue where a very specific image is not loading in on Android.

• Avif format
• Other Avif format images do work correctly
• Converting the image to other formats "fixes" the issue, although this is not an actionable solution
• Regardless of URI / File source type.

By digging into this a bit, it looks like Glide is failing to load the image. Yet, there's nothing suggesting why this is happening.

From the sample project, you'll see how there's simply a blank space where the image is supposed to be:

I can repro this issue at Android platform on the latest 17.11.0 Preview 2.1(8.0.61).

I've opened an issue on the appropriate repository to add the NuGet package for AVIF support. When available also remember about: https://github.com/bumptech/glide/issues/5140#issuecomment-1550067008

Does AVIF work on other platofrms?

[albyrock87]

@moljac on iOS it does work, I have to information regarding other platforms

Are you sure that just by adding new package this will be resolved?

[albyrock87]

@moljac unfortunately I couldn't try this due to the missing NuGet package.

I'll try to see if I can create a java app in order to verify this.

My assumption is simply based on Glide's documentation. To fix this issue we need the NuGet and then we have to modify the Gradle configuration so that Glide "sees" that plugin. Automatic plugin loading is also explained in Glide docs.

No. No. There is no nuget. Sorry for confusion

Please do not waste your time. I created new bindings, but dependecy package is using some crazy versioning format which is not SemVer 2 nor Nuget legacy, so I need to fix tooling 1st.

This "seeing" part worries me. There is no Gradle when using nuget package. Hopefully we don't have to add too much. We'll see after bindings are ready.

Automatic plugin loading is also explained in Glide docs.

Plugin in Maven usually indicates that MSBuild tasks (tricks and hacks) will be needed.

NuGet package has been published:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xamarin.Android.Glide.AVIF.Integration

Tried adding nuget package, but did not work.

Nuget was published and I created PR https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/25376 that should fix this issue, but (as always) does not work.

I am working on native android minimal repro sample to see if there is something else needed. Namely I am afraid we might also need

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.github.bumptech.glide/compiler

But not 100% sure.

In the PR there is also sample code

src/Controls/samples/Controls.Sample.Sandbox/MainPage.xaml

with images from your sample.

Nuget is added to the Core

src/Core/src/Core.csproj

thanks
