[Android] XAML <image> for some webp images returned an illogical java exception.

[Pipozor]

Description

The image is well valid (not corrupted, get it form source url) - see "Relevant log output" section below.

<Image x:Name="a2" Source="https://storage.googleapis.com/lidiapp/topic512/bo-Kld9lBE-1aDuSGdp-4Q_512.webp" Aspect="AspectFit" MaximumWidthRequest="512" MaximumHeightRequest="512" />

Remark: it works on Windows platform. Only crash on Android.

Is this a regression from previous behavior?

Not sure, did not test other versions

Last version that worked well

No response

Affected platforms

Android

Affected platform versions

API 35

Did you find any workaround?

If I convert it to PNG it works (but I want to keep webp format from give url) :

<Image x:Name="a1" Source="a1.png" Aspect="AspectFit" MaximumWidthRequest="512" MaximumHeightRequest="512" />

@PureWeen I think this is duplicate of #23828

Thanks @bhavanesh2001 , yes it is duplicated. Same issue.

[bhavanesh2001]

@Pipozor As I understand it, based on Android’s behavior, throwing the exception is expected. The underlying reason is that the image resolution is too large for the device to handle.

For a more detailed explanation, see #23828 (comment)

I recommend scaling down the image before setting it as the source.

@bhavanesh2001 No, image (webp) is small 512x54 pixels (see 1st post). There is a bug in handling webp (in png it works).

Probably because of MaximumWidthRequest="512" MaximumHeightRequest="512" + Aspect="AspectFit" , something get wrong it auto resize to fit 512x54 in these boundaries.

<Image x:Name="a2" Source="https://storage.googleapis.com/lidiapp/topic512/bo-Kld9lBE-1aDuSGdp-4Q_512.webp" Aspect="AspectFit" MaximumWidthRequest="512" MaximumHeightRequest="512" />

Unfortunately it is in the java code, so not easy to debug...
