Wgy is ToImageSourceAsync() Extension method not available in .net standard dll?

Question

I want to convert a runtime image into a native image? why cant i do this in a .net standard project?

The according extension method is only available in uwp, android, and ios assemblies...

For now, you can put this class in your .NET Standard project, and you'll get the extension method to use everywhere: using System.Threading.Tasks; using Esri.ArcGISRuntime.UI; namespace Esri.ArcGISRuntime.Xamarin.Forms { ///

/// Provides conversions of the generic type to a platform specific image type ///

public static class RuntimeImageExtensions { ///

/// Converts a to a Xamarin.Forms image source. ///

/// Runtime Image to convert /// A Xamarin.Forms image source public static async Task<global::Xamarin.Forms.ImageSource> ToImageSourceAsync(this RuntimeImage image) { if (image == null) return null; var imageStream = await image.GetEncodedBufferAsync(); return global::Xamarin.Forms.ImageSource.FromStream(() => imageStream); } } }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thx for the confirmation. I came up with the same. It would be great if you'd put it into the xamarin library.

I was able to use the StreamImageSource for this:

RuntimeImage img = await mapView.ExportImageAsync();
            StreamImageSource sis = new StreamImageSource();
            sis.Stream = (token) => img.GetEncodedBufferAsync();
            image.Source = sis;

This is good feedback though. I'll see if it's possible to add this extension method to the Xamarin.Forms library.
