Self Destructing App - Viewing sent image file

Hi,

I have a problem displaying the image file when i click on the sender in Inbox. First of all, Xcode was giving me an error when i used a code as shown in the video. "NSURL *imageFileUrl =[ [NSURL alloc] initWithString: imageFile.url]; " so I replaced it with: "NSURL *imageFileUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:imageFile.url];". That worked for the error, but still there is no image retrieved from the Parse.com, but rather blank page appears, and instead of "Sent from 'sender'", I get "Sent from (null)" in the header. Im guessing there is a problem with communication with Parse.com, but the number of contacts and messages on Parse.com is updated whenever I do something with the app.

Any suggestions? Thanks all

Everything worked for me when I followed the instructions. Did you manage to solve your problem? If not, perhaps it might help to copy and paste the entire viewDidLoad method. It could be that the mistake is caused by an error or typo in one of the other items.

Here is what I wrote down and it's working on my iPhone when I run the app.

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    PFFile *imageFile = [self.message objectForKey:@"file"];
    NSURL *imageFileUrl = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:imageFile.url];
    NSData *imageData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:imageFileUrl];
    self.imageView.image = [UIImage imageWithData:imageData];
    NSString *senderName = [self.message objectForKey:@"senderName"];
    NSString *title = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Sent from %@",senderName];
    self.navigationItem.title = title;

    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}

I hope that helps
