Xamarin Android - Bitmap Drawables To Int Array For Viewpager

I am storing some images locally on the device as compressed bitmaps. To retrieve them i get them from their file path, decode them, and then store them as BitmapDrawables. I now

Solution 1:

I solved it by passing in a Bitmap array to the adapter in the end. Like this:

public class ViewFragmentAdapter: FragmentPagerAdapter
    {
        Bitmap[] imageArray;


        public ViewFragmentAdapter (Android.Support.V4.App.FragmentManager fm, Bitmap[] imageArray) 
            : base (fm)
        {
            this.imageArray = imageArray;
        }

        public override int Count {
            get { return imageArray.Length; }

        }



        public override Android.Support.V4.App.Fragment GetItem (int position)
        {
            return new viewerFragment(imageArray[position]);
        }
    }


    public class viewerFragment: Android.Support.V4.App.Fragment
    {
        Bitmap bm;

        public viewerFragment(Bitmap bitmap)
        {
            bm = bitmap;
        }

        public override View OnCreateView (LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
        {
            var view = inflater.Inflate (Resource.Layout.myExhibitHistoryItem, container, false);

            var image = view.FindViewById<ImageView> (Resource.Id.exhibitImage);

            image.SetImageBitmap (bm);

            return view;
        }
    }
