Image source not binding in xamarin form

Issue

My object has a property set elsewhere called:

ImageSrc = "icon.png"

In xaml file I am trying to bind to this:

<Image Source="{Binding ImageSrc}" />

In the ViewModel I am setting the property as such:

private string _imageSrc;

        public string ImageSrc
        {
            get => this._imageSrc;
            set
            {
                this._imageSrc = value;
                this.RaisePropertyChanged(() => this.ImageSrc);
            }
        }

public override Task InitializeAsync(object _params)
{
    ObjectParameters _objectParameters = (ObjectParameters)_params;
   
    this.ImageSrc = _objectParameters.ImageSrc;
    
    return Task.CompletedTask;
}

If I set this in class constructor:

this.ImageSrc = "icon.png";

it binds fine but not after calling:

public override Task InitializeAsync(object _params)

the property is set properly with the correct value of "icon.png" but the image does not show like when set in the class constructor. Any ideas appreciated.

Solution

I had to right click on Resources/drawable/icon.png then Add To Project and make sure Build Action: AndroidResource
