imageView

HI,

I have a couple of issues with imageView. 1st: I have a background image set in imageView (non-programatically). The image shows up on the Main.storyboard (view), but not in the simulator view. (though that seems to work after a while). 2nd: I use this code, but now the image doesn't show up even on Main.storyboard.

    UIImage *backgroundImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"bgcalc"];
    UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:backgroundImage];
    [self.view insertSubview:imageView atIndex:0];

Any suggestions as to why those issues might be?

Try cleaning your project by selecting product -> clean. Changes in storyboard sometime don't get included in a build so you have to clean it first for them to get through. Your code should not affect what shows up in storyboard though. Does jt work when you run the app? Your code looks good so that should work

Oh, and I just saw this in output: Could not load the "bgcalc.png" image referenced from a nib in the bundle with identifier.

Thanks for the quick response. I did clean, but to no avail...

Did you include your image in your project somewhere? Either in your project files or in the image catalog?

Yes, x1 and x2 are in Images.xcassets. The image does show up now when I add it from Main.storyboard, but still not programmatically.

Ok, scratch that. It's working now. Must have been internal glitches with my computer. That happens sometimes, and I should probably clean my system. Thanks for the tip (product > clean) ~
