Answer 1

Here is some tips and check:

1/ Separate this line out :

imageview = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:string]];

to 2 lines:

UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:string];
NSLog (@"%@", image);
imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];

then see what the log tells you

2/ What do you mean by local folder. This can be understood in 2 ways:

• The image is in your project target by you add it in using XCode. If it is this case, manually call UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"apple.png"]; to see what returns

• The image is in your Tmp or /Library folder and you return the file path. Then you cannot use [UIImage imageNamed:FILE_PATH] anymore. You have to call using [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:FILE_PATH]
