Summary:
https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/3679 was only partially fixed as the behaviour only works on iOS. This implements the same behaviour for Android. If the JSBundle was loaded from the assets folder, this will load images from the built-in resources. Else, load the image from the same folder as the JS bundle.
EDIT: For added clarity:
On iOS,
Bundle Location: 'file:///Path/To/Sample.app/main.bundle'
httpServerLocation: '/assets/module/a/'
Name: 'logo'
type: 'png'
**Resolved Asset location: '/Path/To/Sample.app/assets/module/a/logo.png'**
On Android,
Bundle Location: 'file:///sdcard/Path/To/main.bundle'
httpServerLocation: '/assets/module/a/',
name: 'logo'
type: 'png'
**Resolved Asset location: 'file:///sdcard/Path/To/drawable_mdpi/module_a_logo.png'**
