UIImage: How to get website tab icon

Question

I\'m developing an RSS Reader and I need to get the favicon for each feed. For example, if my feed is google.com, I\'d like to get the \"G\" icon and put it into a UIImage or so

Answer 1

The easiest way to go would be to use Google:

NSString *myURLString = @"http://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=www.stackoverflow.com";
NSURL *myURL=[NSURL URLWithString: myURLString];
NSData *myData=[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:myURL];

UIImage *myImage=[[UIImage alloc] initWithData:myData];

That should work.

You would just have to replace the domain where you want to query your icon.
