Answer 1

Try This Code to save image data

to save:

NSManagedObjectContext *context = [self managedObjectContext];

newsObj = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"Event" inManagedObjectContext:context];

NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(self.gImage.image);

[newsObj setValue:imageData forKey:@"imgPng"];

NSError *error;

@try{

    if (managedObjectContext != nil) {

        if (![managedObjectContext save:&error]) {

            NSLog(@"Unresolved error %@, %@", error, [error userInfo]);


        } 
    }

}@catch (NSException *exception) {

    NSLog(@"inside exception");
}

To Retrive Try this:

NSManagedObjectContext *context = [self managedObjectContext];

    NSFetchRequest * fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];

    NSEntityDescription *entity1 = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Event" inManagedObjectContext:context];

    [fetchRequest setEntity:entity1];

    NSError *error;

    NSArray * array = [self.managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:fetchRequest error:&error];

    if (array == nil) {

        NSLog(@"Testing: No results found");

    }else {

        NSLog(@"Testing: %d Results found.", [array count]);
    }

    NSData * dataBytes = [[array objectAtIndex:0] imgPng];;

    image = [UIImage imageWithData:dataBytes];

    [fetchRequest release]; 


}

@catch (NSException *exception) {

    NSLog(@"inside exception");
}
