Initialize a UIImage with the path of an image

Question

I have in a sqlite database the complete path of an image, which is stored in the device, and I need to set a UIImage with that image.

Example:

NSLog(@"Path %@", imagePath);

Output:

/Users/Sk*****/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/4.3.2/Applications/15977219-DEFE-407A-BB80-72E188E18DD2/Documents/20-10-20111746.png

Solution 1

Use + (UIImage *)imageWithContentsOfFile:(NSString *)path

UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:imagePath];

Solution 2

Swift 3.0 code here..

use contentsOfFile

imageView.image = UIImage.init(contentsOfFile: imagePath)

Ok... I did this. The main reason why it wasn't working is... the UIImageView was hidden. I'm an idiot! Thanks anyway.

It's recommended to use UIImage(contentsOfFile: imagePath).

@user5685969 If you want to show the Image path in your device then you should use this one but your code is before version swift 3.0
