Issue with setImageWithURL AFNetworking success handler - ios

Question

Neither the success or failure handler appears to be called when setImageWithURLRequest: is called on my UIImage object. SetImageWithURL does not set my image either. If I use setImageWithURL: placeholder: the placeholder is set but the image from the url never gets set.
Pardon my not posting code sooner. I have tried to use two methods (with AFNetworking) to asynchronously set my image views:
[_imageView setImageWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"path/to/file"]];
[_imageView setImageWithURLRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.example.com/path/to/image.jpg"]] placeholderImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"your_image_here.jpg"] success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, UIImage *image) {
NSLog(#"Your image request succeeded!");
} failure:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Your image request failed...");
}];
I have tried having these triggered in viewDidLoad but the image view never loads.
After looking through the actual function declaration of setImageWithURLRequest: and it appears that neither the success or failure block is executed when I call it. I've placed NSLogs in the code to give you guys an idea of what happens:
- (void)setImageWithURLRequest:(NSURLRequest *)urlRequest
placeholderImage:(UIImage *)placeholderImage
success:(void (^)(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, UIImage *image))success
failure:(void (^)(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error))failure
{
NSLog(#"Log shows");
[self cancelImageRequestOperation];
NSLog(#"Log shows");
UIImage *cachedImage = [[[self class] af_sharedImageCache] cachedImageForRequest:urlRequest];
NSLog(#"Log shows");
if (cachedImage) {
NSLog(#"Log does not show");
self.image = cachedImage;
self.af_imageRequestOperation = nil;
if (success) {
success(nil, nil, cachedImage);
NSLog(#"Log does not show");
}
} else {
NSLog(#"Log shows");
self.image = placeholderImage;
AFImageRequestOperation *requestOperation = [[AFImageRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:urlRequest];
[requestOperation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
if ([[urlRequest URL] isEqual:[[self.af_imageRequestOperation request] URL]]) {
self.image = responseObject;
self.af_imageRequestOperation = nil;
NSLog(#"Log does not show");
}
if (success) {
success(operation.request, operation.response, responseObject);
NSLog(#"Log does not show");
}
[[[self class] af_sharedImageCache] cacheImage:responseObject forRequest:urlRequest];
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
if ([[urlRequest URL] isEqual:[[self.af_imageRequestOperation request] URL]]) {
self.af_imageRequestOperation = nil;
NSLog(#"Log does not show");
}
if (failure) {
failure(operation.request, operation.response, error);
NSLog(#"Log does not show");
}
}];
self.af_imageRequestOperation = requestOperation;
[[[self class] af_sharedImageRequestOperationQueue] addOperation:self.af_imageRequestOperation];

Answer 1

setImageWithURL: is a UIImageView category and cannot be used for setting a UIImage only used on a UIImageView.
[imageView setImageWithURL:url placeholderImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"placeHolderImage"]];
Here's the documentation: http://engineering.gowalla.com/AFNetworking/Categories/UIImageView(AFNetworking).html

Thanks for the help guys but like everyone on here noticed, there was no issue with my code. The issue was actually with regard to ARC. I had it turned off in my AFNetworking files. After turning it on, everything worked just fine.
