ImageView is not displaying the image src

I am trying to use the Icon image provided in the drawable folder using imageView and src attribute but the icon is not being displayed when I run the app and even it's not showing in the emulator.

<RelativeLayout
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content">
       <ImageView
           android:layout_width="60dp"
           android:layout_height="60dp"
           android:scaleType="center"
           android:adjustViewBounds="true"
           android:src="@drawable/icon-chat"/>
</RelativeLayout>

I expect the image should be displayed in the imageview. Do I need to add any other attributes in the imageView ???

There is certain naming convention in naming the drawables file, so while naming your files in drawable keep in mind following two points .

1)Valid characters for naming resources is [a-z, _, 0–9] .In short all small case characters, numbers, and underscore.

2)First letter of your asset(file) name can be either _ or a small case character, it cannot be a number.

Your icon may be of larger size. Copy it to folder drawable-xxhdpi in project explorer then try.

Use drawable-nodpi folder in res if image is too big.

You can't have a '-' in a drawable name. Rename your drawable to 'icon_chat' instead of 'icon-chat'.

<ImageView
     android:layout_width="60dp"
     android:layout_height="60dp"
     android:scaleType="center"
     android:adjustViewBounds="true"
     android:src="@drawable/icon_chat"/>
