I have an array or urls which points to images present on the server. Now I want to display the images in a scrollview with 4 images on each row. I am thinking about using NSOperationQueue and NSInvocationOperation to download the images asynchronously. I am using following url as reference:
http://www.switchonthecode.com/tutorials/loading-images-asynchronously-on-iphone-using-nsinvocationoperation
But I am not sure how will I download multiple images. Do I have to run a for loop with multiple NSInvocationOperation objects and add it to NSOperationQueue object?
I am looking for any guidance to achieve my task.
EDIT: I have done following but NSOperationQueue is not able to call the NSInvocationOperation objects
NSOperationQueue *queue = [NSOperationQueue new];
for(int i = 0;i<rowcount;i++){
for(int j =0; j<4;j++){
UIButton *btnAlbum = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(x, y, 72, 72)];
[btnAlbum setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"placeHolder.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
btnAlbum.tag = count+100;
//[btnAlbum addTarget:self action:@selector(viewAlbum:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[scrlvw addSubview:btnAlbum];
//[btnAlbum release];
x = x + 80;
count++;
NSInvocationOperation *operation = [[NSInvocationOperation alloc]
initWithTarget:self
selector:@selector(loadImage)
object:nil];
[queue addOperation:operation];
[operation release];
}
x = 0;
y = y +80;
}
Thanks
