Iphone 4 Simulator, Set Background Image?

Question

I noticed on Xcode 3.2.3 that of the three simulators available both the iPhone(water drops) and iPad(night sky) show background images. Is there a way to add a few photos to Photos so that I can set one as a backdrop.

NB: I tried dragging an image to Safari in the simulator and then clicking/holding and saving but the image does not show up in Photos.

Answer 1

Try putting some images in the following directory:

~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Media/DCIM/100APPLE

Create the 100APPLE directory if it doesn't already exist. Then add some images in the format of:

IMG_0000.JPG
IMG_0001.JPG
IMG_0002.JPG
IMG_0003.JPG

I think this might be case sensitive as well.

Answer 2

Tapping and holding on an image viewed in Safari allows you to add the selected image to the Photo application. When the message pop-up appears choose "Save Image". Quit Safari and go to the Photo application. The image should be in the camera roll.

I have tried this technique before and it has always worked for me.
