I have array of filepath already generated , i just want to fetch images from them and show it in grid view
-(void)plistRender{
// get paths from root direcory
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains (NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
// get documents path
NSString *documentsPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
// get the path to our Data/plist file
NSString *plistPath = [documentsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"PhotoBucket.plist"];
//pngDATA.....
NSString *totalName = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"EGK_%# ", [NSDate date]];
PhotodocumentsPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
PhotofilePath = [PhotodocumentsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:totalName]; //Add the file name
NSData *pngData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(printingImage);
//Write image to the file directory .............
[pngData writeToFile:[self documentsPathForFileName:PhotofilePath] atomically:YES];
[photos_URL addObject:PhotofilePath];
[photos addObject:totalName];
[grid_copy addObject:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:count]];
[grids addObject:whichProduct];
[Totalamount addObject:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:amt]];
NSDictionary *plistDictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects: [NSArray arrayWithObjects: photos,grids,grid_copy,Totalamount,nil] forKeys:[NSArray arrayWithObjects: #"Photo_URL",#"Product",#"Copy",#"Amount", nil]];

try this
for(int i=0;i<[filePathsArray count];i++)
{
NSString *strFilePath = [filePathsArray objectAtIndex:i];
if ([[strFilePath pathExtension] isEqualToString:#"jpg"] || [[strFilePath pathExtension] isEqualToString:#"png"] || [[strFilePath pathExtension] isEqualToString:#"PNG"])
{
NSString *imagePath = [[stringPath stringByAppendingFormat:#"/"] stringByAppendingFormat:strFilePath];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:imagePath];
if(data)
{
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:data];
}
}
}

Hi you can fetch like this:
NSArray *pathPlist1 =
NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectoryStr1 = [pathPlist1 objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *plistLocation1 =
[documentsDirectoryStr1 stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"ImageStorage"];
NSFileManager *filemgr;
NSArray *filelist;
int i;
filemgr =[NSFileManager defaultManager];
filelist = [filemgr contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:plistLocation1 error:NULL];
NSLog(#"filelist =%lu",[filelist count]);
cacheImagesArray=[[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
cacheImagesDataArray=[[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (i = 0; i < [filelist count]; i++){
NSLog(#"%#", [filelist objectAtIndex: i]);
NSString *imageName=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[filelist objectAtIndex: i]];
NSString *path=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/%#",plistLocation1, [filelist objectAtIndex: i]];
NSLog(#"Path is =%#",path);
NSData* data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:path];
[cacheImagesDataArray addObject:data];
[cacheImagesArray addObject:imageName];
}
thanks
