Getting Image from URL Objective C

Question

I\'m trying to get an image from an URL and it doesn\'t seem to be working for me. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Here is my code:

NSUR         


        

Answer 1

In Swift 3 and 4

let theURL = URL(string:"https://exampleURL.com")
let imagedData = NSData(contentsOf: theURL!)!
let theImage = UIImage(data: imagedData as Data)
cell.theImageView.image = theImage

This will be done in the main thread.

And to perform the same in asynchronous/background thread

   DispatchQueue.main.async(){
      let theURL = URL(string:"https://exampleURL.com")
      let imagedData = NSData(contentsOf: theURL!)!
      let theImage = UIImage(data: imagedData as Data)
   }
   cell.theImageView.image = theImage
