React Native local images with URI on Android
<p>I've searched around and haven't quite found the correct solution for this. I have the app displaying images no problem with uri on iOS using the following code after adding a local folder reference to the XCode project:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;Image style={styles.catimg} source={{uri: "imgs/1.png"}} /&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>But on Android I can't quite figure out where to put the images and how to reference them in the code. Some people have said about a folder called 'drawable-hdpi' in android/app/src/main/res/drawable-hdpi but the build fails if this folder is added there. At the moment there are mipmap folders only.</p>
