Properties
imageResponseSerializer
The response serializer used to create an image representation from the server response and response data. By default, this is an instance of AFImageResponseSerializer
.
@property (nonatomic, strong) AFImageResponseSerializer<AFURLResponseSerialization> *imageResponseSerializer
Discussion
Subclasses of AFImageResponseSerializer
could be used to perform post-processing, such as color correction, face detection, or other effects. See https://github.com/AFNetworking/AFCoreImageSerializer

Class Methods
setSharedImageCache:
Set the cache used for image loading.
+ (void)setSharedImageCache:(id<AFImageCache>)imageCache
Parameters
- imageCache
The image cache.
Declared In
UIImageView+AFNetworking.h
sharedImageCache
The image cache used to improve image loadiing performance on scroll views. By default, this is an NSCache
subclass conforming to the AFImageCache
protocol, which listens for notification warnings and evicts objects accordingly.
+ (id<AFImageCache>)sharedImageCache

Instance Methods
cancelImageRequestOperation
Cancels any executing image operation for the receiver, if one exists.
- (void)cancelImageRequestOperation
Declared In
UIImageView+AFNetworking.h
setImageWithURL:
Asynchronously downloads an image from the specified URL, and sets it once the request is finished. Any previous image request for the receiver will be cancelled.
- (void)setImageWithURL:(NSURL *)url
Parameters
- url
The URL used for the image request.
Discussion
If the image is cached locally, the image is set immediately, otherwise the specified placeholder image will be set immediately, and then the remote image will be set once the request is finished.
By default, URL requests have a Accept
header field value of “image / *”, a cache policy of NSURLCacheStorageAllowed
and a timeout interval of 30 seconds, and are set not handle cookies. To configure URL requests differently, use setImageWithURLRequest:placeholderImage:success:failure:
Declared In
UIImageView+AFNetworking.h
setImageWithURL:placeholderImage:
Asynchronously downloads an image from the specified URL, and sets it once the request is finished. Any previous image request for the receiver will be cancelled.
- (void)setImageWithURL:(NSURL *)url placeholderImage:(UIImage *)placeholderImage
Parameters
- url
The URL used for the image request.
- placeholderImage
The image to be set initially, until the image request finishes. If
nil
, the image view will not change its image until the image request finishes.

Declared In

setImageWithURLRequest:placeholderImage:success:failure:
Asynchronously downloads an image from the specified URL request, and sets it once the request is finished. Any previous image request for the receiver will be cancelled.
- (void)setImageWithURLRequest:(NSURLRequest *)urlRequest placeholderImage:(UIImage *)placeholderImage success:(void ( ^ ) ( NSURLRequest *request , NSHTTPURLResponse *response , UIImage *image ))success failure:(void ( ^ ) ( NSURLRequest *request , NSHTTPURLResponse *response , NSError *error ))failure
Parameters
- urlRequest
The URL request used for the image request.
- placeholderImage
The image to be set initially, until the image request finishes. If
nil
, the image view will not change its image until the image request finishes.
- success
A block to be executed when the image request operation finishes successfully. This block has no return value and takes three arguments: the request sent from the client, the response received from the server, and the image created from the response data of request. If the image was returned from cache, the request and response parameters will be
nil
.
- failure
A block object to be executed when the image request operation finishes unsuccessfully, or that finishes successfully. This block has no return value and takes three arguments: the request sent from the client, the response received from the server, and the error object describing the network or parsing error that occurred.
Discussion
If the image is cached locally, the image is set immediately, otherwise the specified placeholder image will be set immediately, and then the remote image will be set once the request is finished.
If a success block is specified, it is the responsibility of the block to set the image of the image view before returning. If no success block is specified, the default behavior of setting the image with self.image = image
is applied.
