How do I specifically get a static Web image url and apply it to an iPhone application blank view?

Question

In building an iphone app, I can render a blank view, (say that's all I have, just a generic, full screen view) and I want to populate in that view an image from the web, say, "http://www.mypicture.com/mypicture.jpeg". I want to do this as fast as the network allows and not use the photo roll or any part of the os that the user can see. How would I implement this? Also, how do I capture an snapshot (fullscreen or not) image from Google street view without the user knowing so? Thanks all for your anticipated time...xobmo

Answer 1

Use this example, replacing the html with an <img> tag with your image as the src attribute.

Alternately, you can base64-encode your image as in this example, but I figure you'll probably do what's easiest.
