Draw UIImageView at multiple places in superview - iPhone OS

Question

I'm creating a custom progress bar and I've spliced it up into 1px images. If the progress bar were 100px wide then I would need 100 UIImageViews to fill the progress bar. The problem is this very quickly slows the iPhone down. How can I reuse an image view?

Answer 1

Make your own UIView subclass and then draw the images onto it yourself in the drawRect message. Look at this

Answer 2

Create The imageView in Xib (Not in View)

Create it's IBOutlet (Suppose Named MyImage) And Try

For(int i=0;i<100;i++) 
{
    UIImageView *img=[[UIImageView alloc]init];
    img.frame=CGRectMake(i,100,1,1);
    img.image=MyImage.image;
    [self.View addSubView:img];

}
