NSCFConstantString size trying to set an Image

Question

I'm making an UITableView with an UIIMage per cell. To set a different Image per cell I loaded all images in project and made an array with all images _flagsArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: @"flag_Italia.png", @"flag_USA", nil];.

In cellForRowAtIndexPath I wrote

UIImageView * flagImageView = (UIImageView *) [self.view viewWithTag:1]; //declaration of UIImageView in cell
UIImage * flagImage = (UIImage *)[_flagsArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]; //read UImage
[flagImageView setImage : flagImage]; //should assign UImage to UIImageView

Running it crash with log *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSCFConstantString size]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xcbdc', with signal SIGABRT on third row but I can't understand why, what's wrong?

Thank you!

Your array contains strings not images. Also, it looks like you're trying to get the image view from self.view when you should getting it from the cell. Do like this:

UIImageView *flagImageView = (UIImageView *)[cell viewWithTag:1];
NSString *imageName = _flagsArray[indexPath.row];
UIImage *flagImage = [UIImage imageNamed:imageName];
flagImageView.image = flagImage;

Or more succinctly:

UIImageView *flagImageView = (UIImageView *)[cell viewWithTag:1];
flagImageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:_flagsArray[indexPath.row]];
