Display image in a UIImageView in iPhone

Question

I do not wants use a picker view to pick a image. I have image name abc.JPG which is in iPhone image library, can I programmatically fetch this image and put on UIImageView ?

Answer 1

If the image isn't in your application resource and you don't want to use UIImagePickerController then you can use ALAssetsLibrary to fetch the images on user albums or camera roll.

Take a look here: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/AssetsLibrary/Reference/ALAssetsLibrary_Class/Reference/Reference.html

Answer 2

   UIImageView *myImage = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 460)];

myImage.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"abc.JPG"];

[self.view addSubview:myImage];

or if you have already uiimageview with name myImage then just write:

myImage.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"abc.JPG"];

Answer 3

Maybe:

UIImageView *myImageView = [UIImageView alloc] init];
myImageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"abc.JPG"];

Answer 4

Try to follow this tutorial.

Even if you don't want to, I think you have to use UIImagePickerViewController to pick the image, otherwise the image will be picked from Resources in your project.
