How can I use a string parameter to specify an image for an iPhone table cell?

I have an object MObject that is currently defined like so:

+ (id)objectWithType:(NSString*)type name:(NSString*)name code:(NSString*)code imageName:(NSString*)imageName
{
 UIImage *theImage = [[UIImage alloc] imageNamed:imageName];
 MObject *newObject = [[[self alloc] init] autorelease];
 newObject.type = type;
 newObject.name = name;
 newObject.code = code;
 return newObject;
}

imageName is meant to contain the file name of the appropriate image anImage.png. Once I put that in, I need the UIImage object to be created so that it can be placed in cell.imageView.image.

I'm 1) unclear on whether the direc开发者_开发百科tion I've started to take (as shown above) is workable, 2) so far clueless as to how I can get this UIImage into my in my MainViewController. I really appreciate any help you offer.

I got it! I changed the code shown in my original post to:

+ (id)objectWithType:(NSString*)type name:(NSString*)name code:(NSString*)code imageName:(NSString*)imageName
{
 MObject *newObject = [[[self alloc] init] autorelease];
 newObject.type = type;
 newObject.name = name;
 newObject.code = code;
 newObject.imageName = imageName;
 return newObject;
}

Then I added the following line to cellForRowAtIndexPath:

cell.imageView.image=[UIImage imagedNamed:object.imageName];

And that's all it took!

• (UIImage *)newImageFromResource:(NSString *)filename {
  NSString *str = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:filename]; UIImage *image = [[UIImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:str]; return image; }

and Whenever you want to set Image

UIImage *img=[UIImage newImageFromResource:@"xyz.png"];

You can set img wherever you want & dont forget to release img
