Byte Array to NSData

up vote 10 down vote favorite 5

In a WebService JSON response is coming. In the response, there is image is coming as a byte array. I have to show the image in a UIImageView. I am trying to convert the byte array to NSData. But not getting how to do that. Any help would be appreciated. I am confident that the byte array has image data in it. Sample Byte array for your reference: (137, 80, 78, 71, ... 66, 96, 130) Thanks iphone  ios  objective-c  bytearray  nsdata share improve this question edited Nov 18 '15 at 19:25 Islam Q. 1,539 2 11 20 asked  Aug 8 '12 at 8:43 Subhendu Kumar Mukherjee 92 1 2 8

7   I would recommend not to add such lengthy coding which is not needed in your question ... –  IronManGill  Aug 8 '12 at 8:45 This is not JSON. Or are these squared brackets instead of parnetheses? –  user529758  Aug 8 '12 at 8:45  Where do you have this array? Is it a C style array? –  Bruno Ferreira  Aug 8 '12 at 8:48 @BrunoFerreira no, he gets this as a JSON text array –  user529758  Aug 8 '12 at 8:52 @H2CO3 I think that is an NSLog() output. And NSLog() prints NSArrays with () and not []. –  HAS May 25 '13 at 5:53 show 2 more comments

You have to convert the JSON to an array of strings first; you can, for example, use the NSJSONSerialization class: NSArray *strings = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:theJSONString options:kNilOptions error:NULL]; Then walk the strings array, convert each entry to an integer, and add it to an allocated byte pointer/array: unsigned c = strings.count; uint8_t *bytes = malloc(sizeof(*bytes) * c); unsigned i; for (i = 0; i < c; i++) { NSString *str = [strings objectAtIndex:i]; int byte = [str intValue]; bytes[i] = byte; } Then finally make an NSData out of the bytes, then init an UIImage object using it: NSData *imageData = [NSData dataWithBytesNoCopy:bytes length:c freeWhenDone:YES]; UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:imageData]; share improve this answer edited Aug 21 '13 at 10:27 answered  Aug 8 '12 at 8:50 user529758

Note that you are getting NSNumber objects not NSStrings from JSON like that. But since both respond to the intValue message your code still works. Would be better to write NSNumber or maybe even id though. –  Sven  May 25 '13 at 8:35 what is theJSONString? the method takes nsdata and not nsstring.. how come this works? –  Enkidu  Sep 23 '14 at 14:19  add a comment

and here's how to do it in Swift... var bytes:[Byte] = [137, 80, 78, 71, 13, 10, 26, 10, 0, 0, 0, 13, 73, 72, 68, 82, 0, 0, 0, 130, 0, 0, 0, 22, 8, 6, 0, 0, 0, 12, 244, 68, 168, 0, 0, 0, 1, 115, 82, 71, 66, 0, 174, 206, 28, 233, 0, 0, 0, 4, 103, 65, 77, 65, 0, 0, 177, 143, 11, 252, 97, 5, 0, 0, 0, 9, 112, 72, 89, 115, 0, 0, 14, 196, 0, 0, 14, 196, 1, 149, 43, 14, 27, 0, 0, 3, 212, 73, 68, 65, 84, 104, 67, 237, 153, 61, 139, 20, 65, 16, 134, 55, 17, 253, 3, 114, 127, 224, 208, 204, 64, 228, 18, 3, 19, 21, 19, 35, 217, 200, 204, 15, 48, 19, 228, 48, 50, 242, 76, 12, 245, 2, 99, 47, 55, 88, 83, 65, 220, 76, 48, 57, 19, 49, 220, 95, 224, 125, 120, 34, 126, 224, 120, 207, 65, 141, 53, 189, 213, 85, 189, 238, 172, 176, 210, 5, 195, 206, 77, 87, 87, 247, 84, 189, 245, 118, 213, 220, 160, 169, 82, 61, 112, 232, 129, 65, 245, 66, 245, 0, 30, 168, 64, 168, 56, 56, 242, 64, 5, 66, 5, 66, 5, 66, 197, 192, 31, 15, 12, 142, 29, 63, 209, 228, 174, 209, 232, 101, 199, 87, 147, 201, 36, 171, 139, 141, 55, 227, 113, 179, 122, 234, 180, 171, 115, 110, 109, 173, 217, 217, 217, 53, 99, 112, 241, 210, 229, 169, 185, 216, 244, 246, 88, 50, 134, 93, 145, 18, 125, 79, 231, 230, 173, 219, 217, 253, 47, 51, 176, 92, 32, 156, 92, 89, 233, 188, 219, 189, 245, 245, 16, 8, 219, 219, 239, 27, 230, 69, 206, 76, 157, 246, 112, 99, 99, 106, 14, 78, 71, 230, 13, 94, 159, 64, 96, 47, 218, 222, 50, 7, 95, 239, 221, 5, 2, 47, 77, 96, 17, 178, 56, 10, 48, 217, 139, 192, 36, 81, 240, 158, 111, 109, 181, 251, 176, 178, 30, 102, 233, 43, 139, 75, 128, 192, 187, 161, 39, 87, 196, 108, 226, 23, 15, 8, 223, 70, 47, 154, 131, 7, 247, 155, 253, 27, 215, 155, 79, 103, 86, 59, 23, 207, 24, 67, 71, 203, 175, 253, 189, 230, 235, 179, 39, 157, 235, 199, 187, 183, 13, 23, 250, 123, 195, 171, 71, 118, 248, 229, 111, 158, 91, 130, 221, 207, 119, 239, 52, 59, 231, 207, 154, 107, 179, 6, 107, 137, 132, 64, 128, 202, 145, 167, 155, 155, 97, 112, 5, 8, 232, 91, 25, 174, 193, 129, 227, 113, 38, 0, 179, 156, 206, 49, 84, 2, 132, 89, 51, 50, 7, 208, 52, 203, 217, 151, 7, 102, 253, 174, 233, 30, 126, 126, 252, 208, 6, 44, 5, 128, 245, 55, 65, 101, 14, 66, 96, 83, 29, 43, 152, 90, 231, 251, 235, 87, 237, 22, 176, 19, 233, 235, 185, 2, 196, 16, 8, 165, 103, 191, 232, 105, 167, 64, 237, 158, 51, 1, 217, 181, 225, 112, 74, 7, 16, 105, 241, 108, 244, 5, 4, 246, 66, 112, 229, 138, 128, 239, 49, 130, 100, 109, 9, 8, 68, 103, 247, 202, 133, 44, 16, 34, 59, 4, 94, 196, 2, 1, 207, 96, 32, 139, 153, 176, 13, 248, 90, 32, 224, 136, 156, 195, 117, 198, 122, 122, 105, 150, 144, 85, 158, 190, 181, 158, 117, 254, 70, 199, 140, 55, 158, 218, 155, 199, 150, 204, 245, 106, 4, 178, 211, 10, 28, 52, 205, 24, 23, 247, 150, 14, 99, 22, 35, 136, 46, 129, 204, 101, 59, 64, 128, 238, 83, 187, 28, 31, 233, 209, 147, 234, 0, 220, 22, 8, 81, 6, 136, 19, 60, 61, 139, 46, 75, 106, 11, 177, 205, 113, 97, 117, 20, 243, 4, 175, 111, 32, 68, 93, 131, 21, 12, 28, 157, 138, 197, 26, 204, 205, 29, 13, 114, 116, 96, 199, 2, 3, 243, 172, 140, 103, 29, 97, 3, 126, 249, 219, 154, 223, 2, 129, 5, 162, 2, 73, 186, 136, 92, 96, 114, 231, 38, 52, 90, 18, 204, 180, 93, 45, 169, 17, 116, 129, 103, 221, 75, 231, 81, 98, 43, 98, 22, 93, 183, 228, 142, 36, 11, 8, 60, 75, 37, 167, 103, 1, 1, 6, 209, 98, 129, 136, 121, 127, 115, 36, 9, 59, 116, 128, 16, 177, 130, 156, 221, 179, 2, 129, 151, 136, 90, 79, 198, 115, 242, 47, 106, 4, 214, 240, 186, 34, 41, 110, 163, 154, 164, 132, 158, 177, 1, 101, 167, 20, 157, 99, 132, 20, 72, 86, 230, 151, 50, 130, 102, 7, 125, 223, 1, 66, 196, 10, 146, 17, 139, 0, 66, 238, 35, 19, 123, 138, 170, 119, 93, 228, 165, 247, 227, 195, 2, 80, 23, 118, 158, 173, 40, 17, 116, 75, 59, 11, 35, 16, 112, 221, 38, 114, 111, 213, 8, 60, 183, 24, 161, 20, 8, 95, 30, 63, 10, 107, 4, 169, 37, 210, 22, 117, 10, 8, 57, 103, 80, 221, 71, 244, 234, 181, 84, 81, 59, 233, 101, 90, 201, 177, 18, 209, 122, 180, 119, 230, 35, 81, 167, 83, 242, 49, 105, 150, 246, 77, 3, 130, 190, 126, 30, 32, 48, 223, 90, 155, 35, 3, 144, 88, 44, 196, 250, 204, 153, 2, 2, 206, 176, 40, 178, 36, 171, 254, 7, 32, 148, 116, 58, 105, 123, 155, 130, 56, 151, 241, 94, 27, 40, 140, 49, 15, 16, 216, 199, 172, 107, 3, 2, 10, 209, 129, 20, 88, 250, 101, 96, 5, 93, 120, 105, 54, 64, 79, 198, 104, 13, 245, 189, 215, 91, 243, 37, 49, 87, 216, 201, 71, 171, 28, 43, 48, 47, 93, 43, 183, 7, 235, 185, 174, 63, 188, 226, 82, 214, 231, 61, 162, 34, 52, 250, 178, 136, 115, 115, 25, 168, 1, 129, 142, 238, 8, 184, 151, 234, 94, 126, 211, 175, 143, 100, 183, 238, 6, 244, 7, 41, 222, 1, 102, 64, 199, 99, 38, 198, 244, 145, 83, 255, 13, 29, 85, 127, 61, 140, 19, 92, 249, 76, 44, 191, 58, 248, 61, 44, 225, 154, 72, 215, 182, 148, 43, 16, 22, 29, 133, 37, 177, 95, 129, 176, 36, 129, 90, 244, 54, 43, 16, 22, 237, 225, 37, 177, 255, 27, 38, 183, 224, 140, 178, 26, 189, 95, 0, 0, 0, 0, 73, 69, 78, 68, 174, 66, 96, 130];
