[Question] Placeholder

How to set placeholder when image loading in progress?

First thought: how would you do it in Xamarin.Forms when not using glidex? Maybe we need to add a feature?

Glide has a way to do this:

http://bumptech.github.io/glide/doc/options.html#transitionoptions

Right now, you could implement an IGlideHandler to customize the calls to Glide. There isn't much documentation on this, but you can get the general idea here: #41

There is an example of randomizing each image's alpha value. You should be able to call other Glide APIs there. The only weird thing is this will apply to every image in your app, so you might need an attached property to turn it on or off per ImageSource.
