Displaying an image from the web or the application bundle

[mxweas]

First a UIImage needs to be made, to make one with an image from the application bundle use this code:

UIImage *myImage = [ UIImage imageNamed: @"myImage.png" ];

If you need to make an image from a URL you can do something like this:
More info can be found about this technique here: One line UIImage from URL

UIImage *myImage = [UIImage imageWithData: [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL: [NSURL URLWithString: @"http://img.youtube.com/vi/OhOahwZCO1s/2.jpg"]]];

Now that the UIImage has been made it needs to be put into a UIImageView. This is simply done with the -initWithImage: method:

UIImageView *myImageView = [ [ UIImageView alloc ] initWithImage: myImage ];

You can then add the image view as a subview to any other view. You can also change the frame to resize the image.

If you have an Imageview initialized with an image, and during the execution of your code, you would like to change the image hold by the imageView, what code would you use?

Just change the image property:

myImageView.image = myNewUIImage;
