How to add image to view programmatically?

Question

Say you have a UIImage *image and a UIView *v

How would you display the image on top of the view programmatically?

Answer 1

If you just want to add the UIImage to the UIView then you need an UIImageView inbetween the UIView and UIImage, such as:

UIImage *image = [[UIImage alloc] init];
UIView *v = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 0, 0)];
UIImageView *iv = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 0, 0)];
[iv setImage:image];
[v addSubview:iv];

Note that the above is just dummy code and I've created all UI elements with a zero frame.
