I'm trying to load some images in table cells asynchronously using ASINetworkQueue
. I just can't figure it out and can't seem to find a good SIMPLE example.
The best I can find is this, but its just totally overkill and a little too complicated for me:

Does anyone else have any tips/solutions/code for doing this with the ASIHTTPRequest
library?
Here's a class derived from UIImageView which I use, perhaps this will help you. (Actually I've simplified this a fair bit from what I use, but that was what you asked for!)
Header file, UIHTTPImageView.h:
#import "ASIHTTPRequest.h"
@interface UIHTTPImageView : UIImageView {
ASIHTTPRequest *request;
}
- (void)setImageWithURL:(NSURL *)url placeholderImage:(UIImage *)placeholder;
@end
and UIHTTPImageView.m:
#import "UIHTTPImageView.h"
@implementation UIHTTPImageView
- (void)setImageWithURL:(NSURL *)url placeholderImage:(UIImage *)placeholder {
[request setDelegate:nil];
[request cancel];
[request release];
request = [[ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:url] retain];
[request setCacheStoragePolicy:ASICachePermanentlyCacheStoragePolicy];
if (placeholder)
self.image = placeholder;
[request setDelegate:self];
[request startAsynchronous];
}
- (void)dealloc {
[request setDelegate:nil];
[request cancel];
[request release];
[super dealloc];
}
- (void)requestFinished:(ASIHTTPRequest *)req
{
if (request.responseStatusCode != 200)
return;
self.image = [UIImage imageWithData:request.responseData];
}
@end
