Most efficent way to create a CALayer with an image in it?

Question

I am wondering what the most efficient way is to make a CALayer with an image in it.

I know you can load a UIImage and then call [image CGImage] but is this the best way of going about it? As far as I can tell from Apple's documentation this is the only way you can do it.

Answer 1

Try this:

layer.contents = (__bridge id)[ uiimage CGImage ] ;
