Where should i put my images in my iPhone project? - iphone

Question

I'm new to iPhone dev.
Now i have a project and its directory structure looks like this :
Tutorial
\__Tutorial\
\__1.png
\__TutorialViewController.h
\__TutorialViewController.m
\__TutorialViewController.xib
\__Supporting Files\
\__Frameworks\
\__Products\
I tried to use [UIImage imageNamed:#"1.png"] to render an image to the view:
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"1.png"];
imageView.image = image;
[image release];
But the image doesn't shows up.
So i wonder where should i place the images ?
And additionally, if i got lots of images (like 1000 number), what should do ?
Here's my code :
#import "TutorialViewController.h"
#implementation TutorialViewController
#synthesize labelText;
#synthesize imageView;
-(void) click:(id)sender {
NSString *titleOfButton = [sender titleForState:UIControlStateNormal];
NSString *newText = [[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:#"%#",titleOfButton];
// Change Image When Clicking Color Button
if([titleOfButton isEqualToString:#"Blue"]){
NSLog(#"Blue");
imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"a.png"];
}else{
imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"b.png"];;
NSLog(#"Else");
}
labelText.text = newText;
[newText release];
}

Answer 1

You should create a folder named Resources and add images there.
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"IMG_0270.PNG"];
imgView_.image = image;
I had used the above code and it works fine on my system. May be you haven't connected the outlet for imgView in the interface builder.
EDIT:
The problem I found is you are not adding it as a subview. You should change your code like this :
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"1.png"]];
NSString *titleOfButton = [sender titleForState:UIControlStateNormal];
NSString *newText = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"%#", titleOfButton];
// Change Image When Clicking Color Button
if([titleOfButton isEqualToString:#"Blue"]) {
NSLog(#"Blue");
imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"IMG_0270.png"];
} else {
imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"b.png"];
NSLog(#"Else");
}
[imageView setFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 230, 123)];
[self.view addSubview:imageView];
// labelText.text = newText;
[newText release];

Answer 2

there is no prbm with ur code. but Some time image become corrupt , due to this reason it not show, try some other images , and if image is not added at bundle path add at
project target > build phase > copy bundle Resources
. might be it will help.

You have problem at this statement
[image release];
The easiest way to remember when to use release is NARC keyword :)
Always remember to make release call in 4 cases.
N New
A Alloc
R Retain
C Copy

Try to remove the first line of your method, if you've connected the UIImageView in the xib you don't need to re-alloc it. Moreover call self.imageView.image instead just imageView.image.
