I am loading an image to a table view cell, each cell has an image. I've adapter a couple tutorials to the code below, but I am still having slow down.
I am loading these images from the documents directory. Any tips or ideas on how to speed this process up?
Edit Revised Code:
Beer *beer = (Beer *) [self.fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.displayBeerName.text = beer.name;
// did we already cache a copy of the image?
if (beer.image != nil) {
// good. use it. this will run quick and this will run most of the time
cell.beerImage.image = beer.image;
} else {
// it must be the first time we've scrolled by this beer. do the expensive
// image init off the main thread
cell.beerImage.image = nil; // set a default value here. nil is good enough for now
[self loadImageForBeer:beer atIndexPath:indexPath];
}
- (void)loadImageForBeer:(Beer *)beer atIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_HIGH, 0ul);
dispatch_async(queue, ^{
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:beer.imagePath];
beer.image = image;
dispatch_sync(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
UITableViewCell *cell = [self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.beerImage.image = image;
});
});
}
