Now the example of BindableGridView is on https://github.com/slodge/MvvmCross/issues/37

Here is the solution we used to bind images on Buttons when the name of the file comes from a viewmodel:

1) Create a binding

public class MvxButtonIconBinding: MvxBaseAndroidTargetBinding
{
    private readonly View _view;

    public MvxButtonIconBinding(View view)
    {
        _view = view;
    }

    public override void SetValue(object value)
    {
        string path = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal);
        path = Path.Combine(path, "pictures");
        path = Path.Combine(path, (string)value);
        if (File.Exists(path))
        {
            var dr = Drawable.CreateFromPath(path);
            Button b = _view as Button;
            var drawables = b.GetCompoundDrawables();
            foreach (var d in drawables)
                if (d!=null)
                    d.Dispose(); // To avoid "out of memory" messages
            b.SetCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(null, dr, null, null);
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("File {0} does not exists", path);
        } 
    }

    public override MvxBindingMode DefaultMode
    {
        get { return MvxBindingMode.OneWay; }
    }

    public override Type TargetType
    {
        get { return typeof(string); }
    }

    protected override void Dispose(bool isDisposing)
    {
        if (isDisposing)
        {
        }
        base.Dispose(isDisposing);
    }
}

2) Setup the binding :

 registry.RegisterFactory(new MvxCustomBindingFactory("ButtonIcon", view => new MvxButtonIconBinding(view)));

3) Use it in your gridview/listview:

"article_buttonlayout" :

Where "Item" is my object, and "PictureFileName", the filename on the local filesystem.
