How to add a handler for a custom ImageSource ?

[softlion]

I created a custom image source (ie: a class derived from ImageSource), and a custom ImageSourceHandler for each platform (implementing IImageSourceHandler).

I used to register it using ExportImageSourceHandler.
So i tried handlers.AddHandler<CustomImageSource, CustomImageSourceHandler>(); but it complains that CustomImageSourceHandler is not an IIElementHandler.

What is the correct way to register it ?
I did not find how it is done in Maui for FileImageSource.

@softlion you should be able to do it by registering your ImageSourceHandler as a service. Here's how maui does it

Ty I was in the wrong path ! This seems to do it !

How maui binds the xaml control CustomImageSource (which implements ICustomImageSource) to this registration ?
It detects the first interface implemented by CustomImageSource then search it in the services ?
Or am i missing a piece.

ImageSource isn't a control. If you're extending from a MAUI control then the MAUI will figure out your imageSourceHandler, I believe

[softlion]

Yes sorry for the incorrect word. Anyway I would like to know how the mapping is detected automatically, as there is no link anywhere between the service and the class that implements the interface

Ex:
IFileImageSource => FileImageSourceService
But how it links IFileImageSource to the FileImageSource class ?

@softlion the Image loading is divided into a lot of methods, I don't remember where the services are resolved

Hi @softlion, Have you find a way to register the ImageSourceHandler? Stuck at the same issue...
