Instagram avatar in Photo app

Working on the extra credit of Photo Bombers app.

Is there a way to use the avatarForPhoto method that Amit added to THPhotoController to get the avatar on the THDetailViewController?

Pretty sure there is, it's got to be pretty similar to what imageForPhoto is doing for the main image but I am struggling with the syntax.

Help to a beginner, like myself, would be welcome.

Merci! :) Arsène

P.S: I tried to do this in the setPhoto method of MetaDataView: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5td81y8v64shkuf/avatarForPhoto.png

And, it didn't work. Hope non-beginners can give me a hand on this.

try using

self.imageView.image = image

instead of self.imageView = image. that should solve the incompatible type warning you are getting. what error are you getting for the method call? its not visible in the screen shot

Hi Stone - See what I get for the error on method call: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ao88penpa47r4fj/no_class_method_avatarForPhoto.png

I provided more details here, just in case it's helpful: https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/qq-on-instagram-photo-bombers-app

I actually did:

  [THPhotoController avatarForPhoto:self.photo completion:^(UIImage *image) {
        self.avatarImageView.image = image;
    }];

And it seems to be working.
