What is correct path for loading placeholders in Xamarin Android projects?

I have an image in a Xamarin Android project that does not seen to load. In the console, I’m getting

Not found: placeholderProfileImage.png from Filepath

every time an image view comes onto the screen.

My call looks like this:

// use FFImageLoading library to asynchronously:
ImageService.Instance
    .LoadUrl(acquaintance.SmallPhotoUrl, TimeSpan.FromHours(Settings.ImageCacheDurationHours))  // get the image from a URL
    .LoadingPlaceholder("placeholderProfileImage.png")                                          // specify a placeholder image
    .Transform(new CircleTransformation())                                                      // transform the image to a circle
    .Error(e => System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(e.Message))                                  // if there is an error loading the image, print it to debug console
    .IntoAsync(viewHolder.ProfilePhotoImageView);                                               // load the image into the ImageView

The placeholderProfileImage.png exists as an Android resource in both the drawable and mipmap folders, but FFImageLoading can’t seem to find it. Do I need to provide a full path?

This all works great in my Xamarin Forms project, with the same placeholder image in the drawable folder.

On Android:

• CompiledResource = Drawables (eg. Resources->Drawable folder)
• ApplicationBundle = Assets

What’s not working for you?

CachedImage::LoadingPlaceholder I think?
