Question

The "Image Source="icons.png"" works fine but when i insert this code: "Button Image="icons.png"" the app wont display in the xamarin live

This is my code:

 <?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="Project.CustomImages">
        <StackLayout>
        <Button Image="icons.png"/>
        <Label Text="TEST"/>
            <Image Source="icons.png"/>
        </StackLayout>
    </ContentPage>

Try to place an image instead of button.

You can make use of Tap Gesture Recogniser to take click events.

Try something like this :

<Image Source="icons.jpg">
    <Image.GestureRecognizers>
        <TapGestureRecognizer
                Tapped="OnTapped"  />
  </Image.GestureRecognizers>
</Image>

The code for the event handler

void OnTapped(object sender, EventArgs args) {
    // Do something
    DisplayAlert ("Alert", "Image Button Clicked", "OK");
}
