Xamarin cant add icon to toolbar

I am trying to add a help icon to my app's toolbar however it isnt working and i have no idea why. This is the error I am getting:

09-10 23:09:48.421 D/InputMethodManager( 4907): HSI from window - flag : 0 
Pid 
: 4907
[0:] Could not load image named: {0}: help.png
09-10 23:09:48.695 W/ResourceType( 4907): No package identifier when getting 
value for resource number 0x00000000
09-10 23:09:48.696 E/BitmapFactory( 4907): Unable to decode stream: 
java.io.FileNotFoundException: help.png (No such file or directory)

This how I am adding to the toolbar:

ToolbarItems.Add(new ToolbarItem()
        {
            Icon = "help.png",
            Order = ToolbarItemOrder.Primary,
            Priority = 0,
            Command = new Command(() => Navigation.PushAsync(new HelpPage()))
        });

I have placed the help.png icon on the Resources/drawable folder however it still isnt showing up on the app (the navigation works though, if i tap the space where the icon should be)

First of all try setting up the BuildAction of that image to be AndroidResource. If this does not solve the issue, then also you can try: 

... = ImageSource.FromFile("help.png");

Cheers! :)
