How can I change the image displayed in a UIImageView programmatically?

Question

I have an IBOutlet to a UIImageView, but when I look at the UIImageView doc, I can\'t see any hints about programmatically changing it

Answer 1

This question already had a lot of answers. Unfortunately none worked for me. So for the sake of completenes I add what helped me:

I had multiple images with the same name - so I ordered them in sub folders. And I had the full path to the image file I wanted to show. With a full path imageNamed: (as used in all solutions above) did not work and was the wrong method.

Instead I now use imageWithContentsOfFile: like so:

self.myUIImage.image = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:_currentWord.imageFileName];

Don't know, if anyone reads that far?

If so and this one helped you: please vote up. ;-)
