@msrockswell can you upload the gif image? Or you can create a sample demo which can reproduce this issue. I have test the Sample.Droid demo in the source code, it works.

[msrockswell]

@microspaze thanks for your answer. Which NET version are you using with your Sample.Droid demo?

[microspaze]

Sample.Droid demo can be run on both net7.0-* and net8.0-*.

I'm having the same issue using FFImageLoading.Maui 1.0.8 and NET8.
The GIF is shown and animated properly on iOS, however not visible at all on Android.

Should I provide a sample repo?

@Pantheas & @msrockswell Maybe your project's targeting android api is too old. Which version of android api do you use in your project? You can try to update the android api version to try if this issue is fixed.

[Pantheas]

I'm targeting API level 34 with a minimum API level of 29

MauiGifApp.zip

@Pantheas & @msrockswell Can you test the MauiGifApp demo? I still can't reproduce your problem.

[Pantheas]

I only get the error the first time the page is loaded.
I will test the MauiGifApp demo in the upcoming days for sure!

@Pantheas it seems you put the documents_sorting.gif in a wrong folder or the gif file's build action is not MauiImage. Can you double check its placement and build action?

[Pantheas]

documents_sorting.gif is placed in /Resources/Images/ with BuildAction set to MauiImage.
I only face loading issues for the very first time on app startup. If I e.g. implement a delay of 10 seconds, the animation would show up because there is a retry after some time.
Also, when I select a different filter that forces a reloading of the list and triggers the UI to show the loading animation, it is display aswell.

Now it works on .NET 7. NuGet Update 1.1.3 & csproj None Remove gif. Thx
