The Very Basics - Inserting An Image (Without IB)

[Steaps]

I am looking on how i can add an image i have in my project into my application onto my view "MainView", through code.
I have a button, and i want to make the image appear when i press the button.

Other info:
- Image is 320x480
- Image name is "crack.png"
- Image is added into my project through XCode.
- I can make the image appear if i use the IB, i'm looking to do it through code.
- All i need to know is how to make the image appear, i have the action all set up.


Major beginner, any help?
Thanks, Steaps.

EDIT:
This always happens, you find the answer not after looking for an hour, but after you post a thread.

UIImage *image = [ UIImage imageNamed: @"crack.png" ];
UIImageView *imageView = [ [ UIImageView alloc ] initWithImage: image ];
imageView.frame = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 320, 480); // Set the frame in which the UIImage should be drawn in.
[ self addSubview: imageView ];

FYI - When you create a UIImageView using initWithImage the initial size of the image view is the same as the image. So setting the frame in the code you posted is redundant in this case. But if you set the image view's frame to something else, the image would automatically be scaled for you to the specified size.

Thank you, that will save a line of code .

Also, in the code you posted, you'll want to make sure you release the memory you allocated for imageView at the end of that little block. =)

[imageView release];

True, thanks.
