Question

Answer 1

If this image will be bundled with your application, put it in the resource folder of you XCode project and add it to the main target. When done, you can load your setup the UIIMageView with :

myImgView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"mydownloadedimage.png"]

If the image should not be bundled with your App (i.e. because the image is downloaded by the application at runtime), it will probably ends in your document folder that you can access using :

NSArray* paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString* documentFolder = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

then you can load the image using :

myImageView.image = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:[documentFolder stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"mydonwloadedimage.png"]];

Good luck
