Image View
ImageView is an object that may be used to show pictures on the interface of iOS applications. It's a member of the UIImageView class, which is derived from UIView. Where the UIImage object defines the image, ImageView draws the picture on the interface.
The picture view is used to show a single image or a succession of animated images.

Add a Custom Method addImageView
<![CDATA[
-(void)addImageView {
UIImageView *imgview = [[UIImageView alloc]
initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 300, 400)];
[imgview setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"AppleUSA1.jpg"]];
[imgview setContentMode:UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit];
[self.view addSubview:imgview];
}
]]>
Add Another Custom Method addImageViewWithAnimation
This method demonstrates how to use imageView to animate pictures.
<![CDATA[
-(void)addImageViewWithAnimation {
UIImageView *imgview = [[UIImageView alloc]
initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 300, 400)];
// set an animation
imgview.animationImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
[UIImage imageNamed:@"AppleUSA1.jpg"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"AppleUSA2.jpg"], nil];
imgview.animationDuration = 4.0;
imgview.contentMode = UIViewContentModeCenter;
[imgview startAnimating];
[self.view addSubview:imgview];
}
]]>
Note: : We must add the pictures "AppleUSA1.jpg" and "AppleUSA2.jpg" to our project by dragging them to the navigator area where our project files are shown.
In ViewController.m, make the following changes to viewDidLoad:
<![CDATA[
(void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[self addImageView];
}
]]>
