How can I convert FBProfilePictureView to an UIImage?

Question

Everything is working fine with FBProfilePictureView but I need to get that picture from FBProfilePictureView and turn it into an UIImage.

How should I do it?

Answer 1

I have found above solutions to be quite working but here is updated code which i found it more easy going.

 @property FBSDKProfilePictureView *pictureView;

 if ([FBSDKAccessToken currentAccessToken]) {


    self.pictureView=[[FBSDKProfilePictureView alloc]init];

    [self.pictureView setProfileID:@"me"];
    [self.pictureView setPreservesSuperviewLayoutMargins:YES];
    [self.pictureView setPictureMode:FBSDKProfilePictureModeNormal];
    [self.pictureView setNeedsImageUpdate];
    [self performSelector:@selector(getUserImageFromFBView) withObject:nil afterDelay:1.0];

}

-(void) getUserImageFromFBView
{
UIImage *image = nil;

for (NSObject *obj in [self.pictureView subviews]) {
    if ([obj isMemberOfClass:[UIImageView class]]) {
        UIImageView *objImg = (UIImageView *)obj;
        image = objImg.image;
        break;
    }
}
[self.profilePic setImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}

Hope this helps. Here i have put 1 second delay to wait for the profile picture to load.
