xamarin.forms set backgroundimage for page from file in android

I have an Image file that i create during runtime.

I want to set it as backgroundImage of a ContentPage (in android project)

I tried to set the path of the file to the BackgroundImage property but it doesn't work.

Is there a way to do it ?

I can't put it as resource since I create it at runtime

I think that documentation is out of date. Becuase target Android has more than one resources. as /drawable-hdpi /drawable-xhdpi etc.

So you should add your images for all folders because it will work device. It Works.

*but I think that main issue on Xamarin.Forms Becase drawable folder have to default images source when system couldn't find special resolution must select from default folder... *

Put your page into Grid which first element is an Image, then set that image Source to your stream like:

    Image bgImage = new Image
    {
        Source = ImageSource.FromStream(() => { return new MemoryStream(buffer); });
    }

    Grid mainGrid = new Grid
    {
        Children = {bgImage,yourContent}
    };
    yourPage.Content= mainGrid;
