How can I get an Image from a website through RSS feeds? - ios

Question

I am currently building an iOS RSS feed app and it will have a tableView displaying the feeds. I wish to put an ImageView in each table view cell and the image will be from the website of that RSS feed. I am currently using the NSXMLParserDelegate in my file. I just need to know how to get the image from the website... Here is just an example of the rss feed i am using. http://www.forbes.com/most-popular/feed/ Is it possible to get an image from this URL? Thanks for any help! This is my code so far.What do i need to add in order to get the image?
#import "JSSSecondViewController.h"
#import "JSSDetailViewController.h"
#import "JSSFirstViewController.h"
#interface JSSSecondViewController () {
NSXMLParser *parser;
NSMutableArray *feeds;
NSMutableDictionary *item;
NSMutableString *title;
NSMutableString *link;
NSString *element;
}
#end
#implementation JSSSecondViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
feeds = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_tech.rss"];
parser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url];
[parser setDelegate:self];
[parser setShouldResolveExternalEntities:NO];
[parser parse];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
#pragma mark - Table View
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
return feeds.count;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"Cell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.textLabel.text = [[feeds objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey: #"title"];
return cell;
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict {
element = elementName;
if ([element isEqualToString:#"item"]) {
item = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
title = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
link = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
}
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName {
if ([elementName isEqualToString:#"item"]) {
[item setObject:title forKey:#"title"];
[item setObject:link forKey:#"link"];
[feeds addObject:[item copy]];
}
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string {
if ([element isEqualToString:#"title"]) {
[title appendString:string];
} else if ([element isEqualToString:#"link"]) {
[link appendString:string];
}
}
- (void)parserDidEndDocument:(NSXMLParser *)parser {
[self.tableView2 reloadData];
}
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"showDetail"]) {
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableView2 indexPathForSelectedRow];
NSString *string = [feeds[indexPath.row] objectForKey: #"link"];
[[segue destinationViewController] setUrl:string];
}
}
#end
This is the XML I will be parsing...
