Question

I was wondering about a loop to create new UIImageViews at runtime. I want each UiImageView To Have A Different Name. If the user specifies that they want 100 images, 100 images are appropriately sized an placed in a specific area of the screen. They need to fill up a jar. Similar to the Starbucks Mobile Card App stars section, except there is an unlimited about of possible images.

How would I do this?

EDIT: The Image Views Should Fit Inside The Jar Below:

Thanks

You can create multiple UIImageViews using a for loop and an NSMutableArray, something like this:

NSMutableArray *imagesArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (int i=0; i<100; ++i) {
    UIImageView *imgView = [[UIImageView alloc] init];
    // customize the UIImageView as you like
    [imagesArray addObject:imgView];
    [imgView release];
}

Alternately, if the names are important, then create an NSMutableDictionary and use -addObject:forKey: to make the UIImageView the object for the key @"imgName" or whatever name you like.
