HEIC support (libheif)

werthdavid opened this issue 3 years ago · 4 comments

Hey guys,
great work, thanks for that repo! I'm currently trying to create my own version of Skija (Java), especially the HEIC support is interesting for me. I managed to build skia with this repo and skija with your other build scripts. Now I wanted to enable HEIC support but I can't figure out how to achieve that... is there any chance this will be supported be this project or can you give me a hint what I could try?

Cheers,
David

I don’t think Skia includes it JetBrains/skija#90 (comment). You are probably better off with using a library for that

thanks for the fast reply. Unfortunately I have not found a working library in Java for that. I thought Skia does have support for HEIC, it just has to be enabled..

On Android, it relies on Android implementation. Everywhere else, I guess it just doesn’t support it :)

Oh, I see, in https://bugs.chromium.org/p/skia/issues/detail?id=11733 Google is very clear about this. I looked into Skia a little bit and thought the libheif comments meant that it does rely on that library in non-android platforms. Thanks for the clarification!
