UIImageView+AFNetworking get UIImage for URL

Question

I am using UIImageView+AFNetworking and am wondering if there is a way to get the UIImage from the cache? It seems like there should be a method to return the UIImage based on the URL.

Possible?

Answer 1

AFNetworking already caches images automatically (and doesn't expose the cache publicly). You should just be able to request from a URL and it'll either come from the cache or it will get cached when it's downloaded from the remote website.

Answer 2

There is great AFNetworking alternative called APSmartStorage. It supports downloading, memory and disk cache.
