Question

I’m using this code to set an image in an UIImage view

UIImage *image = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3092/2915896504_a88b69c9de.jpg"]]];
[self.ImageView setImage:image];      
NSLog(@"image set");

The log-statement is displayed in the console so the code is executed. I’ve made sure that an UIImageView is hooked up to self.ImageView

The image is not displayed in the UIImageView. What can I do to make this work?

Try sanity checking it:

UIImage *image = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3092/2915896504_a88b69c9de.jpg"]]];

assert(image && "error reading the image");

assert(self.ImageView && "there is no image view");

[self.ImageView setImage:image];      

NSLog(@"image set");
