B4A Library [B4X] WebP images

Cross platform library that loads the new WebP format images.

Android natively supports this format so the regular LoadBitmap methods will also work.

B4i - If you are using a local builder then download the frameworks and add them to the builder: https://storage.googleapis.com/down...eases/webp/libwebp-1.1.0-ios-framework.tar.gz
Implementation is based on @Brandsum code: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/who-can-help-me-to-create-b4i-library.110896/#post-694480

B4J - Based on: https://github.com/zakgof/webp4j (Apache 2.0 license)
Download the additional jars.
Note that it is a Windows only library.
It will show a warning message in the logs when the first image is loaded. Ignore it.
(SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder")
If you are using the built-in packager then add this line:
B4X:
#CustomBuildAction: After Packager, %WINDIR%\System32\robocopy.exe, ..\Objects\b4xlibs\Files temp\build\bin\ webp.dll

Usage instructions:

B4X:
Dim WebP1 As WebP
WebP1.Initialize
ImageView1.SetBitmap(WebP1.LoadWebP(File.ReadBytes(File.DirAssets, "1.webp")))

Hi @Erel. i tested the lib and the normal ImageView.bitmap=LoadBitmap() in B4A, none of the two plays an animated WebP, is there any instruction that im missing?

I mean if WebP is natively supported by Android it should play an animated webp by default. it does in apps ive seen on the store.

Using Google's cwebp encoder, and then loading the image with this library, I get this kind of alpha issue no matter what switch I use for encoding.
