## Props

**accessible**: ?boolean
When `true`, indicates the image is an accessibility element.
**children**: ?any
Content to display over the image.
**defaultSource**: ?object

network. `{ uri: string, width, height }`
**onError**: ?function
Invoked on load error with `{nativeEvent: {error}}`.
**onLayout**: ?function
Invoked on mount and layout changes with `{ nativeEvent: { layout: { x, y, width,
height } } }`, where `x` and `y` are the offsets from the parent node.

**onLoadEnd**: ?function
Invoked when load either succeeds or fails,
**onLoadStart**: ?function
Invoked on load start.
**resizeMode**: ?enum('center', 'contain', 'cover', 'none', 'repeat', 'stretch') = 'cover'
Determines how to resize the image when the frame doesn't match the raw image
dimensions.
**source**: ?object
`uri` is a string representing the resource identifier for the image, which
could be an http address or a base64 encoded image. `{ uri: string, width, height }`
**style**: ?style
+ ...[View#style](./View.md)
+ `resizeMode`
**testID**: ?string

## Properties
static **resizeMode**: object
Example usage:

## Methods
static **getSize**(uri: string, success: (width, height) => {}, failure: function)
Retrieve the width and height (in pixels) of an image prior to displaying it.
This method can fail if the image cannot be found, or fails to download.
(In order to retrieve the image dimensions, the image may first need to be
loaded or downloaded, after which it will be cached. This means that in
principle you could use this method to preload images, however it is not
optimized for that purpose, and may in future be implemented in a way that does
not fully load/download the image data.)
static **prefetch**(url: string): Promise
Prefetches a remote image for later use by downloading it.
## Examples
```js
import placeholderAvatar from './placeholderAvatar.png'
import React, { Component } from 'react'
import { Image, PropTypes, StyleSheet } from 'react-native'
export default class ImageExample extends Component {
constructor(props, context) {
super(props, context)
this.state = { loading: true }
}
static propTypes = {
size: PropTypes.oneOf(['small', 'normal', 'large']),
testID: Image.propTypes.testID,
user: PropTypes.object
}
static defaultProps = {
size: 'normal'
}
_onLoad(e) {
console.log('Avatar.onLoad', e)
this.setState({ loading: false })
}
render() {
const { size, testID, user } = this.props
const loadingStyle = this.state.loading ? { styles.loading } : { }
return (
)
}
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
base: {
borderColor: 'white',
borderRadius: 5,
borderWidth: 5
},
loading: {
opacity: 0.5
