Xamarin PCL FFImageLoading: How to get the image without using CachedImage View

Question

Can we get the bitmap directly from FFImageLoading? I know i can use CachedImage View but I am currently using NControl and NGraphics to do custom drawing with touch events

Answer 1

ImageService.Instance.LoadUrl(urlToImage)
    .Into(nativeImageView);

OR

var drawable = await ImageService.Instance.LoadUrl(urlToImage)
    .AsBitmapDrawableAsync();

var image = ImageService.Instance.LoadUrl(urlToImage)
    .AsUIImageAsync();
