Set UIImageView image using a url

Question

Is it possible to read a url to an image and set a UIImageView to the image at this url?

Answer 1

EGOImageLoading

EGOImageView* imageView = [[EGOImageView alloc] initWithPlaceholderImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"placeholder.png"]];
imageView.frame = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 36.0f, 36.0f);

//show the placeholder image instantly
[self.anyView addSubview:imageView];
[imageView release] //if you want

//load the image from url asynchronously with caching automagically
imageView.imageURL = [NSURL URLWithString:photoURL]; 

If you want more, there is a delegate to handle actions after loading

@protocol EGOImageViewDelegate
@optional
- (void)imageViewLoadedImage:(EGOImageView*)imageView;
- (void)imageViewFailedToLoadImage:(EGOImageView*)imageView error:(NSError*)error;
@end
