Images don't load in Xamarin.Forms 4 when using Visual=Material

See original GitHub issue

As described in https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/issues/4674, when using XF4 and setting the ContentPage Visual to Material, images don’t load. The visual code uses ContextThemeWrapper to apply Material themes to controls, but in GlideExtensions.cs:

 if (imageView.Context is Activity activity)
else
return;

Without the else images are loaded correctly.

Got it! Please find a repro at https://github.com/mikescandy/glidex/tree/wrapbug . I forgot that to trigger the issue I had to:

upgrade to XF4
upgrade to Support Libraries v28.0.0-preview8
target Android 9.0 BUT not for the binding project. I think there’s a different Xamarin android bug there Anyway, this shows the issue (and it might be a good starting point if/when you plan to update to the latest libs)
