Lazy load images in UITableView

Try AFNetworking class download this class in this link https://github.com/AFNetworking/AFNetworking . Add the all AFNetworking class in your project.Then just import this category

#import "UIImageView+AFNetworking.h" in your Viewcontroller which contains your Tableview.

Then in cellForRowAtIndexPath: put like below

-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    CustomCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"cell"];

    if (cell == nil) 
    {
        cell = [[CustomCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:@"cell"];
    }

    [cell.imageView setImageWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[UrlArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]] placeholderImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"placeholder.jpg"]];
     cell.myLabel.text = [imageNameArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

     cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;

    return cell;    
}

This download your Image for imageView in the UITableviewcell asynchronously. It wont download again and again while the user scroll the Tableview, because it has cache also. Once your image download it save the image with key of your imageUrl. I hope it useful for you.

I'd suggest going for an NSOperation and doing whatever you need on another thread.

This is a class I wrote for image loading:

- (id)initWithTarget:(id)trgt selector:(SEL)sel withImgURL:(NSString *)url {
    if(self = [super init]) {
        if(url == nil || [url isEqualToString:@""])
            return nil;
        target = trgt;
        action = sel;
        imgURL = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString: url];
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)main {
    [NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(loadImage) toTarget:self withObject:nil];
}

- (void)loadImage {
    NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
    UIImage *img = [UIImage imageNamed: @"default_user.png"];
    if(![[imgURL absoluteString] isEqualToString: @"0"]) {
        NSData *imgData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL: imgURL];
        img = [UIImage imageWithData: imgData];
    }
    if([target respondsToSelector: action])
        [target performSelectorOnMainThread: action withObject: img waitUntilDone: YES];
    [pool release];
}

- (void)dealloc {
    [imgURL release];
    [super dealloc];
}

Hope that helps!

you can use ego image button..you can download ego image button files from github...add in your project....

change the class " ego image button" at image view in your xib...

lazy loading is called synchronous request..

ego image is called asynchronous request. ego image dont wait for response..display all images at one time..
