Hi,
I was wondering what would be the best way (or rather, how would it be possible at all) to scale down a bitmap when using the Xamarin.Forms Image view.
In native Android there's a way that's suggested by Xamarin by using the BitmapFactory object, as shown at: developer.xamarin.com/recipes/android/resources/general/load_large_bitmaps_efficiently/.
The obvious way at current would probably be: to dynamically at run time scale down the bitmap to the desired size; have it saved to a file; and then providing that file name as the Source for the Image view. Needless to say that this is quite a detour and far from being efficient.
Hence my question: Has anyone got a better idea than that?
Many thanks in anticipation.
