Setting images in code (still) doesn't work on Android

See original GitHub issue

Description

It has been said this would have been fixed but its not. Its broken in RC2 and still broken in RC3. Setting an image from an URL (or from a stream doesn’t matter) in code does not show up in Android. Could test it on iOS and its broken there too.

Steps to Reproduce

public partial class MyPage : ContentPage
{
    public MyPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        MyImageControl = new Image
        {
        	Source = ImageSource.FromStream(() => new MemoryStream(Convert.FromBase64String("your image base64 string here")))
        // OR:
        //	Source = ImageSource.FromUri(new Uri("your image URL here"))
        };
    }
}

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml">
		<Image x:Name="MyImageControl" />
</ContentPage>

@mattleibow Ah okay that makes sense. Then I’ll try it like @jsuarezruiz did. If it still doesn’t work that way (which I assume is not the case) I will create a new issue. Thanks for the explanation.

This seems to be broken on Windows too, not just Android and iOS.

Saving to filesystem and using ImageSource.FromFile works as a workaround.
