Avalonia.Controls.Maui.SkiaSharp.Views

Avalonia-backed handlers for SkiaSharp.Views.Maui, enabling SKCanvasView and SKGLView to render when .NET MAUI runs on Avalonia. In short, this can be used for controls that require using .WithSkiaSharp().

• SKCanvasView — CPU raster SkiaSharp drawing surface
• SKGLView — GPU-accelerated drawing surface (uses GRContext from Avalonia's Skia lease when available, with CPU fallback)
• Image sources — SKBitmapImageSource, SKImageImageSource, SKPixmapImageSource, and SKPictureImageSource convert to Avalonia bitmaps via direct pixel copy

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• .NET 11 SDK
• Avalonia.Controls.Maui configured in your project

Installation

Add the NuGet package to your project:

<PackageReference Include="Avalonia.Controls.Maui.SkiaSharp.Views" Version="..." />

Usage

Call UseAvaloniaSkiaSharp() in your MauiProgram.cs after UseAvaloniaApp():

public static class MauiProgram
{
 public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
 {
 var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
 builder
 .UseMauiApp<App>()
 .UseAvaloniaApp()
 .UseAvaloniaSkiaSharp()
 .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
 {
 fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
 });

 return builder.Build();
 }
}

This registers Avalonia handlers for SKCanvasView, SKGLView, and all SkiaSharp image source types. Your existing SkiaSharp.Views.Maui code works without changes.
