iPhone: UIImage imageNamed doesn't show the image

Question

enter image description here

Hi,

I am trying to use the attached image in an UITableView cell. Images are in application bundle. Except this image and few images, other images are showing fine in the cell. I couldn't find whats the reason to not showing this image particularly. Could someone help me if you came across such problems?

myImageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"icontemp.png"]

check the spelling of that image once. If both are same it has to show the image. — Dee

Check this once. May be your imageView is null. NSLog(@"myImageView %@",myImageView); — Dee

Check also the format of your png file, maybe you use some non-standard fancy feature (however I can't think about what would it be...) — MrTJ

I think you have not copied exactly the images in your application bundle that is being not displayed in the cell.

Try & check removing bunch of images and add those again in your project.

I had that kind of problem lots of time. 90% times it was distraction errors :) There are lots of possible reasons. Here's are the ones I've seen :

You forgot to include the image to bundle
Your image is corrupted
You are using photoshop and you saved your image to PSD with a png extension (mac OS show preview of PSD files).
You forgot to add your view to a superview (arrives sooo often)
Wrong file name (imageName.png instead of imagename.png)
(from Ankit Srivastava) no memory allocated to imageview
... if I remember some other i'd edit the post.

Hope this helps

you forgot the most common of them all... no memory allocated to imageview... :/

If you click on the image in the left-hand Project Navigator window, then select File Inspector on the right-hand Utilities window, make sure the checkbox is checked for the correct target in the Target Membership region.

File names are case-sensitive when used in iDevices (iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad) and in Simulator too.

Additionally: There seems to be an odd bug or misbehaviour regarding case. I can load "Beer.jpg" fine, but "category-Beers.png" (yes, I noticed the plural and ext changes) didn't work -- the device expected the lowercase version for some reason (but the simulator didn't!). Seems the moral of the story is to lowercase everything and save yourself the headache...

Oh, and in case it matters -- this was in a project using Swift.

Check also for duplicate names in bundles AND in your developing folder. (where all the code stuff is saved)
