iOS SDWebImage fade in new image

Question

I\'ve been using SDWebImage on my iPhone app to handle all of the image loading. I am using a placeholder image, and I want to crossfade or fade in the new image once it loads.

You could set the imageView.alpha to 0 right before the animation block, then in the animation block have it animate back to imageView.alpha = 1.0;

// load placeholder image
NSURL *url = ...
_imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] init];
[_imageView setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"loading.jpg"]];

// request image
SDWebImageManager *manager = [SDWebImageManager sharedManager];
[manager downloadWithURL:url
            delegate:self
             options:0
             success:^(UIImage *image, BOOL cached) {

                  imageView.alpha = 0.0;
                 [UIView transitionWithView:_imageView
                                   duration:3.0
                                    options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionCrossDissolve
                                 animations:^{
                                     [_imageView setImage:image];
                                      imageView.alpha = 1.0;
                                 } completion:NULL];

}
failure:nil];
