How to set prefab images from script?
I have an inventory panel with a grid layout. I instantiate slots in it. Slot is just an image. I made a prefab called Slot. I am adding the slots to the grid via script. How can I set the image in a script like below?
for (int i=0; i< database.items.Count; i++) {
Texture2D icon = database.items[i].icon);
GameObject newSlot = Instantiate(slot) as GameObject;
newSlot.transform.SetParent(GameObject.FindObjectOfType<Inventory>().gameObject.transform, false);
//newSlot.getComponent<image??> = icon
}

I found my problem.
First import UnityEngine.UI so you can do
getComponent<image>
Then load the sprite from root folder. My images were in a folder called Resources. I was trying to load it as
Resources.Load("Resources/" + filename);
while the path should have been just:
Resources.Load(filename)
It is strange but finally it worked.
Hi, I have the same issue, could you detail your solution?
