android imageView doesn't like my .png file

I am trying to load a .png file for for things in my app that do not have images.

I have my noImage.png in the res>drawable directory and try and set it with:

//set image
        ImageView im1 = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
        if(e.largeLabel.equals("N/A")){
            //set image as png
            im1.setImageResource(R.drawable.noImage.png);
        }

        else{
            ImageDownloadTask imageD = new ImageDownloadTask(im1);
            imageD.execute(e.largeLabel);
        }

I get the error:

png cannot be resolved or is not a field

Update:

Based on some answers below I changed my code to this:

im1.setImageResource((Integer) R.drawable.noImage);

But I get this force close error:

My problem was the name of my image. I can not have uppercase letters in the res folder. I had to change the name from noImage.png to noimage.png and everyone was correct in that I do not use the .png when calling it in android.

Try this,

im1.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.noImage));

You don't specify the file extension when accessing resources. Use R.drawable.noImage instead.
