Hello ! I'm trying to load an image from Assets.xcassets into UIImage
val image = UIImage("mypin")
The file mypin.png is copied into Assets.xcassets in Xcode . This doesn't work , it fails to load the image. Anyone that has any thoughts on how to do this correctly?

Hello, are you using init(named: String) initializer?

[Trond Tunheim]

No, not sure how I would use that ?

[Romain Dubreucq]

try something like

val image = UIImage(named: "mypin")

[Trond Tunheim]

Ok,

Tried that, but the only parameter accepting a String as input is "contentsOfFile:" . If i try UIImage(named: "mypin") it will not compile.

UIImage.imageNamed("mypin")

I thought he was using Swift 🙃

My bad, should have said it was Kotlin.

@ribesg: Thank you !!
