Fetching and presenting images stored as Files - Very slow

I store my User's profile image in the File Store and I keep the file_id as a custom attribute in KCSUser.

My problem is that when I download and present this image,updating UI takes too long.

My Images have size 6kB and I use SDK 1.26.3 (latest)



Here's my code:

____________________________

[KCSFileStore downloadFile:file_id options:nil completionBlock:^(NSArray *downloadedResources, NSError *error) {

if (error == nil) {

KCSFile* file = downloadedResources[0];

NSURL* fileURL = file.localURL;

ProfileImage.image = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:[fileURL path]];

} else {

NSLog(@"Got an error: %@", error);

}

} progressBlock:nil];

}

____________________________



Is there any other way I could possibly store an image and have access to it through KCSUser?

Any suggestions?

Can you send us a sample project that reproduces this issue?
Check mail :)
The KCSFileStore callbacks don't happen on the main thread. This means UI updates are unpredictable. Try wrapping the UI code with a `dispatch_async` like:



dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{

profileImage.image = [UIImage imageWithData:fileData];

});

I don't think it is a good idea to keep the file_id as a custom attribute in KCSUser. 


Because Kinvey doesn't allow programmers to modify (or add or delete) backend data, if a user changes profile image, we can do nothing to update to the new image. 



You can easily modify backend data Yonghui...
