Question

Xamarin forms: Android 11 : Embedded resource images not showing

Sanjai PT 16

Due to recent update form Google play store I updated Target Android version from Android 10(API level 29) to Android 11(API level 30). After the update in certain phone (especially motorola) embedded resource images are not showing. Can someone help me on if I need to do anything to fix this particular issue ?

Hi, @Sanjai PT . Could the embedded resource images work fine in your project before? And does the project work fine on Android 10 now? Please make sure the Build Action of the image is set to EmbeddedResource.

I created a basic demo to display the embedded resource image on Android 11, it works as expected. The Resource ID should contain the solution name and folder name where the image is placed.

img.Source = ImageSource.FromResource("TestApplication_6.test.png", typeof(ImageResourceExtension).GetTypeInfo().Assembly);

Hi @JarvanZhang
Issue with embedded resource image is resolved for me now. I am using svg image in my Xamarin application. I had been using the nuget Xamarin.FFImageLoading.Svg.Forms which was working fine in all devices when Target Android version was Android 10. This issue with SVG images not showing occured in some devices only when I updated target Android version to Andorid 11.

Solution to this to install latest version of Skiaharp i.e 2.80.3 into Xamarin Android project.

Hi @Sanjai PT , Did you do anything apart from just adding the Skiasharp 2.80.3? Because SkiaSharp is a drawing library how could adding that resolve this issue - I am asking because I am also facing a same issue?

Hello @Sanjai PT Asking the same question as in the previous comment. Were there changes needed besides the installation of that package? Is there an interaction between SkiaSharp and Xamarin.FFImageLoading.Svg.Forms? Not really sure I understand how the fix is connected. Thanks in advance.
