Xamarin android Glide webp animation

Question

I'm using this library (Xamarin binding library of Glide), to display Gif in my app. But i would like to display Webp animations to save some space in my app.

Glide.With(context)
     .Load(url)
     .Into(imageView);

But the animation is locked on the first frame and didn't played (webp animation example).

Did i miss something?

Thank you.

Regards, Samih

It's a known issue.

Right now, Glide has no built-in webp support and defaults to the system.It seems like Glide will work when you introduce some libraries that support WebP.

oh okay. Too bad it's not supported yet. Do you think it will be one day? – Samih EL SAKHAWI Jan 13 '21 at 20:31
@SamihELSAKHAWI It is hard to say, after all, that such a request was made two years ago.And you could consider using other libraries. – Leo Zhu Jan 14 '21 at 01:01
I just updated my app to use AnimatedImageDrawable API on devices >= android sdk 28, and for the other devices, i still use Gif. – Samih EL SAKHAWI Jan 14 '21 at 20:47
