Here is the code I a

Answer 1

Replace absoluteString with path

let myimage : UIImage = UIImage(data: data)!
        let fileManager = NSFileManager.defaultManager()
        let urls = fileManager.URLsForDirectory(.DocumentDirectory, inDomains: .UserDomainMask)
        let documentDirectory = urls[0] as NSURL


        print(documentDirectory)
        let currentDate = NSDate()

        let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
        dateFormatter.dateStyle = .NoStyle
        dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
        let convertedDate = dateFormatter.stringFromDate(currentDate)
        let imageURL = documentDirectory.URLByAppendingPathComponent(convertedDate)
        imageUrlPath  = imageURL.path
        print(imageUrlPath)
        UIImageJPEGRepresentation(myimage,1.0)!.writeToFile(imageUrlPath, atomically: true)

Answer 2

This code works for me

func getImageFromDir(_ imageName: String) -> UIImage? {

    if let documentsUrl = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first {
        let fileURL = documentsUrl.appendingPathComponent(imageName)
        do {
            let imageData = try Data(contentsOf: fileURL)
            return UIImage(data: imageData)
        } catch {
            print("Not able to load image")
        }
    }
    return nil
}

Folder /B2A1EE50- ... changes every time you run application.

../Application/B2A1EE50-D800-4BB0-B475-6C7F210C913C/Documents/..

Which works for me is to store fileName and get documents folder.

Swift 3 +

Create getter for directory folder

var documentsUrl: URL {
    return FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first!
}

Save image :

private func save(image: UIImage) -> String? {
    let fileName = "FileName"
    let fileURL = documentsUrl.appendingPathComponent(fileName)
    if let imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 1.0) {
       try? imageData.write(to: fileURL, options: .atomic)
       return fileName // ----> Save fileName
    }
    print("Error saving image")
    return nil
}

Load image :

private func load(fileName: String) -> UIImage? {
    let fileURL = documentsUrl.appendingPathComponent(fileName)
    do {
        let imageData = try Data(contentsOf: fileURL)
        return UIImage(data: imageData)
    } catch {
        print("Error loading image : \(error)")
    }
    return nil
}

1.cell.image.sd_setShowActivityIndicatorView(true)

2.cell.image.sd_setIndicatorStyle(.gray)

3.cell.image.image = UIImage(contentsOfFile: urlString!)

Answer 5

Swift 4:

if FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: imageUrlPath) {
            let url = NSURL(string: imageUrlPath)
            let data = NSData(contentsOf: url! as URL)

            chapterImage.image = UIImage(data: data! as Data)
        }

Answer 6

Also you can try this.

1. Check if your path exist

if NSFileManager.defaultManager().fileExistsAtPath(imageUrlPath) {}

2. Create an URL to your path

let url = NSURL(string: imageUrlPath)

3. Create data to you URL

let data = NSData(contentsOfURL: url!)

4. Bind the url to your imageView

imageView.image = UIImage(data: data!)

Final code:

if NSFileManager.defaultManager().fileExistsAtPath(imageUrlPath) {
    let url = NSURL(string: imageUrlPath)
    let data = NSData(contentsOfURL: url!)
    imageView.image = UIImage(data: data!)
}
