    how can i call an UIImage from the web by scanning a barcode? I'm using linea pro.

    this is my coding

    Code:
    - (void)viewDidLoad
{
  
    
    NSMutableString *sURL = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:@"http://*********.com/prodimage/"];
    
    [sURL appendFormat:@"%@", lastBarcode];
    
    NSLog(@"sURL is: %@", sURL) ;
    
    UIImage * image = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:sURL  ]]];
    
    UIImageView * imageView = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:image];
    [self.view addSubview:imageView];
    
    
    
    [super viewDidLoad];
	// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}

    when i scan the ns log doesn't run. so I'm assuming its not sending or getting data.

    Have u tried everything, also logging the frame etc, see if the pointers are set (not really looking through your code).

    If your NSLog is not showing up, I would think, based on your code snippet, that viewDidLoad is not getting called, since there doesn't seem to be anything to prevent the NSLog from getting executed once the method is started.

    Please identify the class that contains your viewDidLoad method. Also identify its superclass.

    If your class isn't a UIViewController subclass, then viewDidLoad won't be called.

    If your class is a UIViewController subclass, but it's never loading a view, then viewDidLoad won't be called.

    Use of viewDidLoad isn't magic. You have to connect instances of your class into an active view hierarchy. If you don't make that connection, then nothing knows to call your viewDidLoad method.

    This API will block your main thread. Do you see why that is? Do you see why that is not a good thing to do? Do you know how to load this without blocking the main thread?
