Changing UI image from file or URL C#

Unity Engine

I’m trying to figure out how to change UI image sprite using a C# script. I’ve been browsing the net for couple of days and i just can’t figure it out. Image can be a local file or URL. Can someone help please?

Thanks :slight_smile:

Modified Source: Unity - Scripting API: WWW

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {

    // The output of the image
    public Image img;

    // The source image
    public string url = "http://images.earthcam.com/ec_metros/ourcams/fridays.jpg";

    IEnumerator Start() {
        WWW www = new WWW(url);
        yield return www;
        img.sprite = Sprite.Create(www.texture, new Rect(0, 0, www.texture.width, www.texture.height), new Vector2(0, 0));
    }
}

Don’t forget to error check!

if (www.texture != null)
            {
                m_Image.sprite = Sprite.Create(www.texture, new Rect(0, 0, www.texture.width, www.texture.height), new Vector2(0, 0));
            }

}
