Question

in my plist (dictionary entries) i would like to store a path to an image for each item
like so:

<key>Image</key>
<string>sit_109_111.jpg</string>

In the app, i would like to set the image source (UIImageView) to that image
What do i need to do to convert the value to be able to set it to the uiimageview.image property?

I tried doing this

  self.exerciseImage.image=[self.exerciseDetail objectForKey:IMAGE_KEY];

and it crashes

fixed it

  self.exerciseImage.image=[UIImage imageNamed:[self.exerciseDetail objectForKey:IMAGE_KEY]];

Assuming you are reading your plist file into a dictionary like so

NSMutableDictionary* plistDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:filePath];

You can do

UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed: [plistDict objectForKey:@"Image"]];
[self.exerciseImage setImage:image];
