Note:

The name of the project created in this tutorial is ImageTutorial. It is emphasized to be careful in choosing the name of the project. Project name and solution must be the same, name both ImageTutorial.- Double-click the MainPage.xaml file in the Solution Explorer section of the ImageTutorial project and replace the code below with the code on that page.

<! -? xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"? ->

<contentpage xmlns = "http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms" xmlns: x = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml" x: class = "ImageTutorial.MainPage">

<stacklayout margin = "20,35,20,20">

<img source = "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/Papio_anubis_%28Serengeti%2C_2009%29.jpg/200px-Papio_anubis_%28Serengeti%2C_2009%29.jpg" heightrequest = " 300 ">

</stacklayout>

</contentpage>

By entering this code, you specify a UI for the page and this UI contains an image. The Image. Source attribute in this code is used to specify the URI of the image we want to display in the ImageView section. In other words, this attribute allows us to upload images from different sources, addresses and URIs.

Note:

The Heightrequest attribute is used to specify the length of the image to be displayed in device-independent units.- Run the program by pressing the Start button or the Ctrl + F5 key combination and view the output of your written code in the emulators.
