Why does texture not show in object view?

Why does texture not show in object view?

I unwrapped my model, painted it (poorly), and everything is hunky-dory as far as viewing it in texture paint mode. However, when I switch to object mode, the model doesn’t show the texture. What am I doing wrong? I know that if I need it to render properly I need to set a material and everything, but shouldn’t it show in the object view?

How to paint a texture on a model?

How do I get my texture to show up?

Do you save the texture I painted in texture paint mode?

You need to save the image texture to an image file F3 ( Menu: Image / Save As Image) otherwise all changes are lost.
