Question

My app downloads a small image file from a remote server and I am trying to display it along with some other small image files that are pre-installed in the app. I am using [UIImage imageNamed:@”TheImageName.png”] to get the images (see below for more detail). The pre-installed images display as expected but the image in my apps ‘Documents’ directory is no where to be found. Should I be using -imageNamed for an image in ‘Documents’ or some other method?

UIImage* documentsImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"TheImageName.png"];
UIImageView* anImageView = [[UIimageView alloc] initWithImage:documentsImage];
[self.view addSubview:anImageView];

Answer 1

Ah, nevermind. I found that using [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:filePath] works for this. imageNamed just returns nil.
