iOS SDWebImage fade in new image

Question

I\'ve been using SDWebImage on my iPhone app to handle all of the image loading. I am using a placeholder image, and I want to crossfade or fade in the new image once it loads.

Answer 1

Try out this:

[self.myImage sd_setImageWithURL:storyThumbnailURL placeholderImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"xyz"] completed:^(UIImage *image, NSError *error, SDImageCacheType cacheType, NSURL *imageURL) {
    if (cacheType == SDImageCacheTypeNone) {
        self.myImage.alpha = 0;
        [UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 animations:^{
            self.myImage.alpha = 1;
        }];
    } else {
        self.myImage.alpha = 1;
    }
}];
