get image from previous controller

Question

Hi, i am getting a picture from the iPhone's camera in one nib file (getPhoto.xib), where I save it into the camera library and also display it in an UIImageView (image1). Then, I have a next button which loads a different nib file (naming.nib) where the user can add a name for the image. How I can access the image from the first nib file so that I can display it in an UIImageView (image2) in the second nib file?

I'm trying the following, but nothing is displayed in image2:

UIImageView *image2= [[UIImageView alloc initWithImage:
    [UIImageView imageNamed:image1]];

Answer 1

the imageNamed: method requires an NSString argument. Assuming that the name of image1 is actually "image1", you would do:

UIImageView *image2 = [[UIImageView alloc]
             initWithImage:[UIImageView imageNamed:@"image1"]];

Note that the "name" here is the name you used when saving the image to the camera library.

Answer 2

call retain on image1 (the one you get from camera) and use it where ever u are currently trying to use image2
