Image not displayed on UICollectionViewCell - objective-c

Question

I am trying to get images on contacts,here i used UICollectionViewCell but in the collection view i didn't get image for the contact,i get only name and number.Here my code is
- (IBAction)ContactDisplay:(id)sender {
_addressBookController = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
[_addressBookController setPeoplePickerDelegate:self];
[self presentViewController:_addressBookController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
- (void)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController*)peoplePicker didSelectPerson:(ABRecordRef)person
{
[self displayPerson:person];
}
- (void)displayPerson:(ABRecordRef)person
{
NSString* name = (__bridge_transfer NSString*)ABRecordCopyValue(person,
kABPersonFirstNameProperty);
NSLog(#"%#",name);
NSString* phone = nil;
ABMultiValueRef phoneNumbers = ABRecordCopyValue(person,
kABPersonPhoneProperty);
if (ABMultiValueGetCount(phoneNumbers) > 0) {
phone = (__bridge_transfer NSString*)
ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phoneNumbers, 0);
} else {
phone = #"[None]";
}
NSLog(#"%#",phone);
UIImage *img ;
if (person != nil && ABPersonHasImageData(person)) {
if ((&ABPersonCopyImageDataWithFormat) != nil ) {
img= [UIImage imageWithData:(__bridge NSData *)ABPersonCopyImageDataWithFormat(person, kABPersonImageFormatThumbnail)];
}
} else {
NSString *imageUrlString = #"http://www.google.co.in/intl/en_com/images/srpr/logo1w.png";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:imageUrlString];
NSData *data = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url];
img= [UIImage imageWithData:data];
}
NSString *string ;//
string =[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",img];
NSLog(#"%#",img);
self.name.text=name;
self.number.text=phone;
[self.nameArray addObject:name];
[self.imageArray addObject:string];
NSLog(#"%#",self.nameArray);
NSLog(#"%#",self.imageArray);
[self.collectionView reloadData];
[self.collectionView performBatchUpdates:^{
[self.collectionView reloadSections:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:0]];
} completion:nil];
}
finally an image array i got like this
(
"add-button.png",
"<UIImage: 0x17e56c80>, {148, 148}"
)
On image array every image like display .PNG format it will display fine ,then how can modify it.
Can you please suggest me how can you solve this,thank you.

Answer 1

I don't fully agree with everything you're doing there but I think you're getting your data wrong. Try using this instead when you're fetching the ABPerson image data.
if (person != nil) {
CFDataRef imageData = ABPersonCopyImageData(person);
NSData *data = CFBridgingRelease(imageData);
if (data != nil && data.length > 10){ //arbitrary length to make sure our data object isnt' really empty
img = [UIImage imageWithData:data];
} else {
NSString *imageUrlString = #"http://www.google.co.in/intl/en_com/images/srpr/logo1w.png";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:imageUrlString];
NSData *data = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url];
img= [UIImage imageWithData:data];
}
Then don't store your images as Strings in your array. Store them either as NSData or UIImage, but NOT STRINGS.
so
[myArray addObject:img]; //not the string.
And when you fetch it later, make sure you treat is as an image and not as a string

Answer 2

on your storyboard, select the image and look at the properties panel.
there are "Installed" options at the bottom. check the topmost "Installed" box.

Answer 3

I think there might be issue with conversion of image to string
NSString *string ;//
string =[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",img];
Add image to image array without converting to string
[self.imageArray addObject:img];

I do it like this in my app. Assuming 'person' is an ABRecordRef.
NSMutableDictionary *contactInfoDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]
initWithObjects:#[#"", #"", #"", #""]
forKeys:#[#"firstName", #"lastName", #"birthday", #"picture"]];
CFTypeRef generalCFObject;
// Firtname
generalCFObject = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonFirstNameProperty);
if (generalCFObject) {
[contactInfoDict setObject:(__bridge NSString *)generalCFObject forKey:#"firstName"];
CFRelease(generalCFObject);
}
// Lastname
generalCFObject = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonLastNameProperty);
if (generalCFObject) {
[contactInfoDict setObject:(__bridge NSString *)generalCFObject forKey:#"lastName"];
CFRelease(generalCFObject);
}
// Birthday
generalCFObject = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonBirthdayProperty);
if (generalCFObject) {
[contactInfoDict setObject:(__bridge NSString *)generalCFObject forKey:#"birthday"];
NSLog(#"Date : %#", [contactInfoDict objectForKey:#"birthday"]);
CFRelease(generalCFObject);
}
// User image
CFDataRef photo = ABPersonCopyImageData(person);
if (photo) {
CFRelease(photo);
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:(__bridge NSData*)photo];
[contactInfoDict setObject:image forKey:#"picture"];
}
