Toolbar image icons not displaying (Android)

Question

I have the images in the Android project Resources folder. I also tried the assets folder, but that didn't work either. I've tried changing the Build Action setting (AndroidResource, Content, EmbeddedResource etc.) as well as removing the extension of the image in the Xaml. Unfortunately, none of these solution have worked. Other images are working correctly. It seems to be a problem with the toolbar. I've seen some others have this same issue in other forums.

How can I get the image icon, instead of the default text, to show up in the toolbar on Xamarin Forms Android?

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

Hi, @Oregon39 . How did you display the icon on toolbar? I created a basic demo to test the function, it works fine on Android. The image file is placed under Resources\drawable and the BuildAction is the default AndroidResource.

   <ContentPage ...  
       <ContentPage.ToolbarItems>  
           <ToolbarItem IconImageSource="grid_"/>  
       </ContentPage.ToolbarItems>  
       ...  
   </ContentPage>
