How know whether image is coming from cache or form url in SDWebImage?

Question

I am using SDWebImage for loading a list of images and it was really good but while loading images next time it's loading image from cache if the url is same. But I need to know its coming form cache or web. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Check SDWebImageManager, it has 2 versions of functions to check whether an URL is already cached or not:

- (BOOL)diskImageExistsForURL:(NSURL *)url;

There's also a version with a block which executes after the check. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

You can check the cache to see if the image in question has already been downloaded like so:

NSString *key = [[SDWebImageManager sharedManager] cacheKeyForURL:URL];
UIImage *image = [[SDImageCache sharedImageCache] imageFromDiskCacheForKey:key];

Answer 3

use your url

SDWebImageManager *manager = [SDWebImageManager sharedManager];
UIImage *cachedImage = [manager imageWithURL:url];

if (cachedImage) 
{
   [button setImage:cachedImage];
   //image is cashed
}
else 
{
   [manager downloadWithURL:url delegate:self];
}

and then implement delegate function

- (void)webImageManager:(SDWebImageManager *)imageManager didFinishWithImage:(UIImage*)image {
   [button setImage:image];
   // new image
}
