Image not loading from file path in iOS - ios

Question

I want to load the image from the saved file path of that image that is stored in my iPhone. I am getting the path but still it says file does not exist. This is my code :
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,
NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *imagePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",self.imageName]];
BOOL fileExists=[[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:imagePath];
NSLog(#"%#",imagePath);
UIImage *fetchImage = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:imagePath];
fileExists returns NO even when I get this path :
/var/mobile/Applications/2ED5C185-8528-48D3-BE0B-28582DC3D294/Documents/IMG_0028.JPG

Answer 1

I ran into this problem as well. Hopefully this will save someone a headache down the road.
You can't rely on the Documents Directory to stay consistent from one build to the next. When you re-deploy the app this path could change:
/var/mobile/Applications/2ED5C185-8528-48D3-BE0B-28582DC3D294/Documents/
My problem was I was storing the Document Path in a JSON file and trying to retrieve it on subsequent builds. This piece changes on every build:
2ED5C185-8528-48D3-BE0B-28582DC3D294
Store only the filename with extension and pull the Document Path dynamically. Then you can proceed to prefix the path on the filename.

Try this it work fine for me
NSString* documentsPath = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *imageName = [[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:#"%#",self.imageName ];
NSString* foofile = [documentsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:imageName];
BOOL fileExists = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:foofile];
if (fileExists) {
NSLog(#"alreday Exists");
}
// for showing image on image view
NSString *docDir = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *pngFilePath = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/%#", docDir,self.imageName];
UIImage *img = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:pngFilePath];

try with following code :
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,
NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *imagePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#.JPG",self.imageName]];
BOOL fileExists=[[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:imagePath];
NSLog(#"%#",imagePath);
UIImage *fetchImage = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:imagePath];

Answer 4

UIImage *image =[UIImage imageWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:self.aStrImagePath]];

try this:
NSString *strNew=[dci valueForKey:#"uThumbPath"];
NSString *strCompare=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#.jpg",[self MD5String:strNew]];
NSString* documentsPath = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];
NSLog(#"%#",documentsPath);
NSString *strFileName=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/%#",documentsPath,strCompare];
if([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:strFileName])
{
NSLog(#"Downloaded From Localpath");
NSString *inputPath= strFileName;
NSString *extension=[inputPath pathExtension];
NSString *file=[[inputPath lastPathComponent]stringByDeletingPathExtension];
NSString *dir=[inputPath stringByDeletingLastPathComponent];
NSString *imagePATH=[NSBundle pathForResource:file ofType:extension inDirectory:dir];
UIImage* theImage=[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:imagePATH];
cell.imgThumb.image=theImage;
}
else{
NSLog(#"Downloaded From Server");
NSURL *URL = [NSURL URLWithString: [dci valueForKey:#"uThumbPath"]];
NSURLRequest* request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:URL];
NSLog(#"%#",strNew);
[NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:request
queue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue]
completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse * response,
NSData * data1,
NSError * error) {
if (!error){
[self saveLocally:data1 name:strNew];
cell.imgThumb.image = [UIImage imageWithData:data1];
}
}];
}
and use this
- (NSString *)MD5String:(NSString *)string{
const char *cstr = [string UTF8String];
unsigned char result[16];
CC_MD5(cstr, strlen(cstr), result);
return [NSString stringWithFormat:
#"%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X",
result[0], result[1], result[2], result[3],
result[4], result[5], result[6], result[7],
result[8], result[9], result[10], result[11],
result[12], result[13], result[14], result[15]
];
}

I had this just happen to me. XCode didn't update my files correctly after adding it to my project. Try to do a clean (Product -> Clean) and see if that fixes the issue.
