Answer 1

In the below part i.e

UIImage *image = [[UIImage imageNamed:abook.image];
NSLog("image %@",image);

image is UIImage and not text So its not gonna display anything. what i suggest is you take an imageView and set its frame somewhere on the screen and set imageView.image=image and try to display it on screen. May be you will get the image.

hAPPY cODING...

Where are the images stored? [UIImage imageNamed] is meant to return an image that is stored in your application's bundle (meaning it needs to be in the left column of Xcode). If you are trying to load an image from a URL, the code needs to be something like this:

[UIImage imageWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:@"http://path/to/image"]];
