null reference on FFImageLoading.Helpers.MiniLogger about ffimageloading

[molinch]

@kirajhpang From your sample it's quite hard to understand what's going on.
Did you reference the nuget package in your iOS and Android package too?
It should be referenced in PCL, iOS and Android Forms projects.

@daniel-luberda Any idea?

[kirajhpang]

@molinch I follow the description on Github. Add FF library on PCL, Android, iOS project and WP (well, I know it can't work), and called init() on each platform.

I suspect that the image is fail to download so it called MiniLogger to print out message, and somehow the string is null, so it throw null reference exception.

Btw, the try catch exception didn't work, so I assume that's is no exception occur when putting the image. Exception occurs while download the image.

Could you give the URL for the image ?

[kirajhpang]

I can't, it is return by the server, basically is just http URL and company own it.
Currently, maximum picture needed to be download is around 7-8 only, without this library, 4-5 image will crush definitely with java OutOfMemory exception.
Sometimes it work very smooth, but will crush after several action, exception same as above I described.

I know it is corporate stuff but would you be able to send a repro sample by email?
It will be way easier to solve

@kirajhpang You could also try to use alternative http handler (moderhttpclient, add it via nuget) in platform specific project:

FFImageLoading.ImageService.Initialize(httpClient: new HttpClient(new NativeMessageHandler());

BTW: You don't need to cast to ImageSource (Source = (ImageSource)imageSource) - strings would work just fine!

[kirajhpang]

@molinch can I have your email? I think I able to send you the images.

@daniel-luberda I quite new in Xamarin.Forms and most of my code handle in Xamarin.Forms PCL project, I got try the ImageService written on Github API page, but I have no idea how to implement it completely. Should I use DependencyService or Custom Image Render?

@kirajhpang You only need to:

• add nuget https://github.com/paulcbetts/ModernHttpClient
• add FFImageLoading.ImageService.Initialize(httpClient: new HttpClient(new NativeMessageHandler()); in every platform specific project (MainActivity.cs on Android, AppDelegate.cs on iOS)

@kirajhpang Great I just managed to reproduce it with your code sample & images

[molinch]

Damn that was a hard one to find!
Thanks for reporting it! 👍

[kirajhpang]

ok, I expecting also something similar from your commit. Thanks for fix it!
Are we able to get new version from nuget now ?

[molinch]

@kirajhpang Pushed to nuget.
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xamarin.FFImageLoading/

Sorry for the delay!
Could you give it a try?
