Glide.With(this).Load("Url").Into(propertyPrimaryImageView);

// Placeholder :
Glide.With(this).Load("Url")
			     .Placeholder(Resource.Drawable.placeholder)
			     .Into(propertyPrimaryImageView);

// Thumbnail & DontAnimate			     
Glide.With(this).Load("Url")
			     .Placeholder(Resource.Drawable.placeholder)
			     .Thumbnail(0.1f)
			     .DontAnimate()
			     .Into(propertyPrimaryImageView);			     

// SkipMemoryCache & DiskCacheStrategy
Glide.With(this).Load("Url")
				 .Placeholder(Resource.Drawable.placeholder)
				 .SkipMemoryCache(true)
				 .DiskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.All)
