Xamarin image dimensions are not correct

I want to display a 60 * 60px image in my Xamarin Forms based Android project using Visual Studio 2013 and latest Xamaring.

I followed these steps:

• Place the png image in the Resources \ Drawable folder.
• Set the "Build Action" of the image to AndroidResource
• Created a Xamarin.Forms.Image object like this:

    protected static Image CreateHeaderLeftImage()
    {
        Image image = new Image();

        image.Source = Device.OnPlatform(null, ImageSource.FromFile("image.png"), null);

        image.WidthRequest = 60;
        image.HeightRequest = 60;

        image.VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center;
        image.HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center;

        return image;
    }

      

        
        
        
      

    

• In App.GetMainPage () I just set the content of the main page to the generated image

public static Page GetMainPage()
{
    ContentPage contentPage = new ContentPage();

    contentPage.Content = CreateHeaderLeftImage();

    return contentPage;
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

The image appears in the middle of the page at double the height and double the width! I took a screenshot and measured the image, it's 120 * 120 instead of 60 * 60!

I've used the code above from many Xamarin!

Why is the image enlarged?
