Message: "Skia API call failed".

[Elinulok32]

I rarely get the popup message "Skia API call failed" in my app (Android, Windows) in production. When this happens, it prevents other UI components from rendering. Though rare, I need to avoid it completely. Don't know where it's originating from because same code runs well often times and only on rare occasions displays such message. How do I keep it from happening at all.

I use TALAnimatedImage in my project, so I added "ALSkiaAvailable" to the "Conditional Defines" for Android and iOS (is that helpful). I use Delphi 12.3 and the last version of Alcinoe just before adding support for Delphi 13. Thank you.

Skia API call failed is raise in the function :

{****************************}
{$IF defined(ALSkiaAvailable)}
function ALSkCheckHandle(const AHandle: sk_handle_t): sk_handle_t;
begin
If AHandle = 0 then
raise Exception.Create('Skia API call failed');
result := AHandle;
end;
{$ENDIF}

that simply mean a call to a skia function failed. Is it possible for you to get more log ? maybe you can activate the Grijjy.ErrorReporting and retrieve the stack trace to know with function failed ?

I'll try and get you more log.
The message "Skia API call failed" occurs without adding "ALSkiaAvailable". My concern with "ALSkiaAvailable" only relates to its use in conjunction with TALAnimatedImage and not the error message. For that, I only wanted to find out if adding "ALSkiaAvailable" is needful when using TALAnimatedImage or other Alcinoe components.

ALSkiaAvailable simply mean the skia api functions are included with the app but skia is not necessary the main form canvas. This is usefull for exemple to TALAnimatedImage, so you do not use skia for your form canvas but you can still use skia internal function to decode a lottie animation

My app load lots of images and I believe that's where the issue is, so I modify how the app loads the images and since then, I haven't seen such popup messages. I guess that was my fault.
Thanks for the great work you're doing with Alcinoe components. They are simply amazing. I'm in high expectation of seeing great new feature and components this year. Wish you the very best.
