Cannot install mvvmcross download cache pluguin with xamarin forms

Mvvmcross version 4.4.0

xamarin forms need Xamanarin.android.support.v4/v7.x version 23.0.0 Download Cachè plugin need Xamarin.android.support.compat version 24.2.1

My app is using xamarin forms so i cant remove it, but i also need to use MvxListView to show an image from url with local:MvxBind="ImageUrl myimage" so i need download cache plugin, but i cant install it.

Is there any other IMvxImageHelper to use instead of MvvmCross-DownloadCache plugin ? or any other solution ?

*IMPORTANT NOTE-> No code in the Android View.

Solution

  • We use the Xamarin.Forms Plugin FFImageLoading - Fast & Furious Image Loading. It works like a charm and the image loading is much faster than without this plugin. So just take a look at it.

    You can find detailed documentation on this github wiki.

    Here's a short Xaml example how to use it:

    <ffimageloading:CachedImage HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="Center"
            WidthRequest="300" HeightRequest="300"
            DownsampleToViewSize="true"

</ffimageloading:CachedImage>
