Unable to add UIImageView Xcode Swift

Question

For some reason I am unable to add a UIImageView to my app. This is the code I am using and I have searched for quite a while to figure this out but haven't had any luck.

    super.viewDidLoad()

    let cloudimage = UIImage(named: "cloud")
    let cloudView = UIImageView(image: cloudimage)
    self.view.addSubview(cloudView)
    cloudView.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,100,200)

The image is a .png in my assets folder so I don't think it's that. I do have auto layout settings enabled if that is an issue? I know it can be an issue with moving a UIImageView around by using its frame, but I think I should still be able to place the image in the View no problem with this code.

I am not quite sure what to do any suggestions would be great, this is extremely frustrating.

Answer 1

you need to add UIimageview to main view.

self.view.addSubview(cloudView)

Answer 2

Try by giving the image extension also while setting to UIImage

    let cloudimage = UIImage(named: "cloud.png")
    let cloudView = UIImageView(image: cloudimage)
    cloudView.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,100,200)
    self.view.addSubview(cloudView)

Checked and its working.

Answer 3

If your image is nil , your UIImageView will not render anything. Try debug your view hierarchy.
