Creating image from URL?

[aahmed753]

I am getting information from web in XML format. One field has image link. How can i display the image from the link? Thanks for your help...

[aahmed753]

So what was the solution?

[aahmed753]

read the image data into NSData and then create the image using imageWithData instance method. haven't tried it yet...

NSData *receivedData = [[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.iphonedevsdk.com/forum/images/icons/icon8.gif"]] retain];
UIImage *image = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:receivedData] ;

hope this helps

why do you have to "retain" the NSData? doesn't UImage retains it?

Shouldn't that be:

NSData *receivedData =  [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.iphonedevsdk.com/forum/images/icons/icon8.gif"]];

What you need is listed above. If you have issues, try not to grave-dig an old thread, instead make a new one.

If you have a URL that links to a valid image file, simply run this one line of code after replacing the URL with your URL.

UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.example.com/image.png"]]];
