Question

when my app starts it loads 60 images at a time in UIImageView
and it also loads a background music.

in simulator it works fine but in IPAD it crashes..

-(void)viewDidLoad
{
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

//img.animationImages = [[NSArray arrayWithObjects:

MyImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                       //[UIImage imageNamed: @"BookOpeningB001.jpg"],...... B099,nil];


//[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval: 8.0 target:self selector:@selector(onTimer) userInfo:nil repeats:NO];

img.animationImages = MyImages;
img.animationDuration = 8.0; // seconds
img.animationRepeatCount = 1; // 0 = loops forever
[img startAnimating];
[self.view addSubview:img];
[img release]; 

[pool release];

//[img performSelector:@selector(displayImage:) ];

//[self performSelector:@selector(displayImage:) withObject:nil afterDelay:10.0];
[self performSelector: @selector(displayImage) withObject: nil afterDelay: 8.0];
}


-(void)displayImage {

SelectOption *NextView = [[SelectOption alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];

[self presentModalViewController:NextView animated:NO];
[NextView release];
}

Am i doing anything wrong ?
Is there any other alternative to load the local images faster in
UIImageView !

Answer 1

I was doing something similar. Even if you quit all of the other apps on your iPad and manage to get it to run it will crash on you randomly.

I fixed this by preload very small (like 5 or 6 k) gif images. Then when my user entered an area where the big image needed to be seen I loaded the full res pic as a jpg and released the object as soon as they were done with it.

Now my app no longer has an issue on the simulator or the device and I do not have to have the user close everything.
