I am unable to load an image because of nil returned by NSURL. The url looks like this : http://www.example.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/préliminaire.jpg. When I enter my URL on firefox, I get my image but when I try in firefox the encoder http://www.example.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/pr%3Flinaire.jpg I have no image...
Here is the code I use to load my image :
NSString *myString = #"http://www.example.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/préliminaire.jpg";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:myString];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
UIImage *img = [[UIImage alloc]initWithData:data];
That returns nil for url, so everything after is nil..
Thank you for your help guys
That's because those characters are not valid in a URL. Escape them first:
NSString *escaped = [myString stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:escaped];
// etc.

I'm converting an image that I retrieved from a URL to base 64 using this code.
NSURL* imageUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:url];
NSData* urlData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:imageUrl];
UIImage* uiImage = [UIImage imageWithData: urlData];
NSData* imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(uiImage);
NSData* base64 = [imageData base64EncodedDataWithOptions:0];
return [NSString stringWithUTF8String:[base64 bytes]];
the image url: https://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/?data=somedata&size=220x220&margin=0
the generated base64 image.

I figured out the image is only halved because I checked using this tool.
http://codebeautify.org/base64-to-image-converter
Is there anyway I can generate a base64image String that contains the whole image?
In terms of why it's getting cut off, I suspect you're looking at the base64 string in the debugger, which will truncate it. Actually NSLog the string and you'll see it's longer than what you're seeing in the debugger.
A couple of other unrelated observations:
You should not use stringWithUTF8String with [base64 bytes] because the NSData will not be null terminated. If you really needed to convert it to a string, you'd use initWithData rather than stringWithUTF8String:
return [[NSString alloc] initWithData:base64 encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
As others have pointed out, you can bypass the creation of the NSData of the base64 altogether, and create the string directly:
return [imageData base64EncodedStringWithOptions:0];
I'm not sure why you're taking the NSData from the server and round tripping it through a UIImage at all. You can theoretically just encode the data from the server directly:
NSURL* imageUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:url];
NSData* urlData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:imageUrl];
return [urlData base64EncodedStringWithOptions:0];
The server is already returning you the NSData of a PNG representation. You don't need to do that UIImage and UIImagePNGRepresentation stuff at all. You're actually generating a PNG that is considerably larger than the one the server returned to you.
I'd advise against using dataWithContentsOfURL, because that's a synchronous network call. You probably should use NSURLSession and change this to be an asynchronous method.
NSURL* imageUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:#"https://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/?data=somedata&size=220x220&margin=0"];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:imageUrl];
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:data];
NSString *base64 = [self encodeToBase64String:image];
To convert your image to base64 String use following code:
- (NSString *)encodeToBase64String:(UIImage *)image {
return [UIImagePNGRepresentation(image) base64EncodedStringWithOptions:NSDataBase64Encoding64CharacterLineLength];
}
That base64 will give you full image. Tested with your given image
Here is base 64 :
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6d76e3ad852b4879ab097e6a1b3e68a2
To convert your UIImage into base64 string you can use this code.
NSString *base64String = [UIImagePNGRepresentation(uiImage) base64EncodedStringWithOptions:NSDataBase64Encoding64CharacterLineLength];
Here is the code.
NSURL* imageUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:#"https://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/?data=somedata&size=220x220&margin=0"];
NSData* urlData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:imageUrl];
UIImage* uiImage = [UIImage imageWithData: urlData];
NSString *base64String = [UIImagePNGRepresentation(uiImage) base64EncodedStringWithOptions:NSDataBase64Encoding64CharacterLineLength];
NSLog(#"%#",base64String);
I checked the result string on http://codebeautify.org/base64-to-image-converter
Try it, Hope it helps.
This is working perfectly
UIImage *img = [UIImage imageNamed:#"QRcode.png"];
NSString *base64 = [UIImagePNGRepresentation(img)base64EncodedStringWithOptions:NSDataBase64Encoding64CharacterLineLength];
NSLog(base64);
The printed base64 String can be converted back to image in the URL you provided
I followed the code based on here tableview Tutorial and i did successfully show something in my tableview.
I want to change the cell image by using url link from website.
Here is my code:
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://piq.codeus.net/static/media/userpics/piq_126382_400x400.png"];
NSString *path = [str stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"," withString:#"/"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:path];
NSData *data = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url];
cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageWithData:data];
If I change my str to
NSString *str = #"https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSrKOobbDUVMwrrqMkpvfhITeyQewM8Kj0fZg_X_u3TaM-CLi5QfA";
then it will successfully change the image of each cell in table view.
Both urls link to the same image but the first link image size is bigger than second link.
Problem solved. Thanks to #GoodSp33d.
For those who are using Xcode 7. Please refer to this solution.
Here is my updated code:
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"your image url"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:str];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL : url];
cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageWithData:data];
I have a url of video from photo library :-
/var/mobile/Applications/9BC2EBC4-7A71-4C8B-8BFB-D25D01E4CA83/Documents/IMG_5244.MOV
How can i get convert it to NSData I am tried following but nothing worked:
NSString* fileName = movieAsset.defaultRepresentation.filename;
NSURL* fileUrl = [[[[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLsForDirectory:NSDocumentDirectory inDomains:NSUserDomainMask]lastObject]URLByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
NSString *str = [fileUrl path];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:str]];
[arrVideoUrls addObject:fileUrl];
Here in your code you have add NSString as an URL and try to convert that NSString URL to NSData, so here first convert that string url to NSURL and then convert it in to NSData like below...
NSString *strVideoURL = #"assets-library://asset/asset.MOV?id=2EBD925F-D275-403E-A6A4-3487134D9B9D&ext=MOV";
NSURL *urlVideo = [NSURL URLWithString:strVideoURL];
NSData *videoData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:urlvideo]];
Im trying to get an image from a url link.
NSURL *thmbnailUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://%#:800/fishtune/movie/%#.png",[[DBHelper sharedInstance] currentHostIP],[arr objectAtIndex:0]]];
NSLog(#"thmbnail:%#",[NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://%#:800/fishtune/movie/%#.png",[[DBHelper sharedInstance] currentHostIP],[arr objectAtIndex:0]]);
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:thmbnailUrl];
NSLog(#"movimgdata:%#",data);
UIImage *img = [[UIImage alloc]initWithData:data];
NSLog(#"movimg:%#",data);
NSData *imgData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(img);
when i log thmbnail i get this "ipofserverinnetwork/fishtune/movie/Our Logo 480p back.png"
Note:i didn't put the original ip.
I get null when i log data and of course img will also be null. I really dont know why I'm getting null. because when I tried entering the url in a browser it displays the image. I used the same code in another part of my app and it works but when i used it in this it fails. Is it because of the spaces between "Our_Logo_480p"?
you might need to use
NSString* escapedUrl = [yourstring stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
yes it's because of spaces, use
NSString *myUrl = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://%#:800/fishtune/movie/%#.png",[[DBHelper sharedInstance] currentHostIP],[arr objectAtIndex:0]];
NSString *url = [myUrl stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
I'm trying to initialize an UIImage via URL.
This is the code I wrote:
NSString * path = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[[_tours objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]objectForKey:#"map_url"]];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:path];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
UIImage *img = [[UIImage alloc]initWithData:data];
[[cell tourPreviewImage]setImage:img];
....
An example map_url looks like the following:
https://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?size=200x200&maptype=roadmap&markers=size:big|color:green|72.3601030185,41.4626763775&markers=size:big|color:red|45.4563468516,94.4774796973&sensor=false
It seems that the NSURL Object cant handle the | Pipe Character the right way because i dont get any image data. If I delete the parameters separated by the pipe out of the url everything works fine.
Any Ideas how to solve this problem?
ok i found a solution for this. Encoding is what did go wrong.
NSString * path = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[[_tours objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]objectForKey:#"map_url"]];
path = [path stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:path];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
UIImage *img = [[UIImage alloc]initWithData:data];
[[cell tourPreviewImage]setImage:img];
