Cast object as sprite for UI Image

Questions & Answers

Hello!

I have a list of objects (Texture2D and Texture) and I want to use the Texture 2D objects as sprites on a GUI image.

How can I cast the objects from the list that are Texture2D as sprite?

So far I’ve got this but the sprite field in the image stays empty… :

foreach (Object obj in objectList) {

	System.Type type = obj.GetType();

	if (type == typeof(UnityEngine.Texture2D)) {

		Image newImage = (GalleryImage)Instantiate(imagePrefab);

		newImage.sprite = obj as Sprite;

	}

}

Can you help please?

Nevermind, got it more or less:

foreach (Object obj in objectList) {

	System.Type type = obj.GetType();

	if (type == typeof(UnityEngine.Texture2D)) {

		Image newImage = (GalleryImage)Instantiate(imagePrefab);

		Texture2D tex = obj as Texture2D;

		Sprite newSprite = Sprite.Create(obj as Texture2D, new Rect(0f, 0f, tex.width, tex.height), Vector2.zero);

		newImage.sprite = newSprite;
		newImage.transform.SetParent(this.transform);

	}

}
