I have an app i am building it works fine but the image source

  • 0

I have an app i am building it works fine but the image source i am using is from a website and when I switch back to my initial view it takes quite some time for it to load. My question is would there be a way to get this done and have the speed be faster.
here is the code I use to pull my image source 

////Loads UIImageView from URL
todaysWallpaper.image = [UIImage imageWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.inkdryercreative.com/daily/archive/mondays/images/062-mondays-960x640-A.jpg"]]];

any help or a shove in the proper direction. Soon the image will change every time day as well so any help/thoughts on that would be of great appreciation.

    The probleme here is that dataWithContentsOfURL: is on the main thread, so it will block your UI when the image is downloaded.

    You have to download it asynchronously. For that I personally use a great piece of code i found on the internet : SDWebImage. It does exactly what you want.
