How can I get image from my resource folder?

Question

I want to tack one image from my resource folder. I do it like this:

NSString *fullPathToFile =[[NSString alloc]init];
fullPathToFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath];
fullPathToFile =[fullPathToFile stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"/groupiphonessmall.png"];

Is this correct for getting an image from the resource folder, or it gives me path of "iPhone Simulator"?

I want to send this image path to an email popup. There, I'm not getting the image.

Answer 1

I got new way to send image in email.

• Tack image

• Tack this image in png format and after that convert in string by base64 encoding.

• You can send this base 64 image code in html formate e-mail

Here is my code:

UIImage *imageName =[UIImage imageNamed:@"groupiphonessmall.png"];
NSData *dataObj = UIImagePNGRepresentation(imageName);
NSString *imageBase64 =[self encodeBase64WithData:dataObj];

code for email:

"< img src=\"data:image/png;base64,CODEOFBASE64\ >" "

Answer 2

Can't you use [UIImage imageNamed:@"groupiphonesmall.png"];

Also when using stringByAppendingPathComponent: you don't need to put a slash in front of the file name, it will do that for you.

Answer 3

It's a bit simpler:

NSString *pathToResourceFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"groupiphonessmall" ofType:@"png"];
