Display local image in UIImageView

Question

How do I display an image in the UIImageView component from the hard drive?

I have a local folder called "images" and would like to access it via a relative path, since I want to package the images with the app.

Answer 1

To load image from somewhere on your drive use:

UIImage * myImage = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile: @"../images/1.png"]; 

Or add image to the Xcode project and use:

UIImage * myImage = [UIImage imageNamed: @"1.png"]; 

After that add image to imageview:

UIImageView * myImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage: myImage]; 

Answer 2

You dont need to give any path as long as the image is in your resources folder.

You can display that image in the imageView using this.

yourImageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"something.png"];
