To load images from assets and drawables you should take ExtendedImageDownloader from example project (this class is not a part of library yet) and also set it to configuration.

UPD: Loading local resources (from drawable, assets, content provider) works out of the box since UIL v1.8.0.

See README:

String imageUri = "assets://image.png"; // from assets
String imageUri = "drawable://" + R.drawable.image; // from drawables (only images, non-9patch)

NOTE: Use drawable:// only if you really need it! Always consider the native way to load drawables — ImageView.setImageResource(...) instead of using of ImageLoader.
