Fix JSON Parsing Scale Imageview tableview - ios

I build project tableview with Json parsing. My project its work, but my imageview is spread. Before I already setting constraint for it image
Can someone help me how to make image to scale fit with constraint setting
My code:
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
final let urlString = "http://wisatasumbar.esy.es/restful/search_articles.php?&keyword=bukittinggi"
#IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!
var wisataArr = [String]()
var titleArr = [String]()
var imgUrlArr = [String]()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.downloadJsonWithURL()
}
func downloadJsonWithURL () {
let url = NSURL(string: urlString)
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: (url as? URL)!, completionHandler: { (data, response, error) -> Void in
if let jsonObj = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: .allowFragments) as? NSDictionary {
print(jsonObj!.value(forKey: "data"))
if let dataArray = jsonObj!.value(forKey: "data") as? NSArray {
for data in dataArray{
if let dataDict = data as? NSDictionary{
if let title = dataDict.value(forKey: "title"){
self.titleArr.append(title as! String)
}
if let title = dataDict.value(forKey: "category"){
self.wisataArr.append(title as! String)
}
if let title = dataDict.value(forKey: "image_satu"){
self.imgUrlArr.append(title as! String)
}
}
}
}
OperationQueue.main.addOperation({
self.tableView.reloadData()
})
}
}).resume()
}
func downloadJsonWitTask () {
let url = NSURL(string: urlString)
var downloadTask = URLRequest(url: (url as? URL)!, cachePolicy: URLRequest.CachePolicy.reloadIgnoringCacheData, timeoutInterval: 20)
downloadTask.httpMethod = "GET"
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: downloadTask, completionHandler: { (data, response, error) -> Void in
let jsonObj = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: .allowFragments)
print(jsonObj)
}).resume()
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return titleArr.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell") as! TableViewCell
cell.lblTitle.text! = titleArr[indexPath.row]
cell.lblWisata.text! = wisataArr[indexPath.row]
let imgUrl = NSURL(string: imgUrlArr[indexPath.row])
if imgUrl != nil {
let data = NSData(contentsOf: imgUrl as! URL)
cell.imgView.image = UIImage(data: data as! Data)
}
return cell
}
}

You can't cast a string to a URL. Casting simply says "Ok, the thing in this box. It's not a string, it's an URL." If the object can't double as the other class, the cast fails.
You need to create a URL using a string as input:
let url = URL(string: myString)
String and URL are not related therefore cannot be casted to each other. You have to create the URL from a string (like in another line in the code).
let safariVC = SFSafariViewController(url: URL(string: JobUrl)!)
Don't use NSURL in Swift 3 at all.
PS: Be aware that all optional bindings in downloadJsonWithURL are meaningless if you are using multiple arrays as data source. If one value does not pass the binding the app will crash at the latest in cellForRow due to an out-of-range exception.
URL is an object which has different properties (like absoluteString,path, scheme etc. which are String objects themselves) so you cannot cast URL to String, they are different types.
With an URL you can use the URLSession class to access the contents of remote resource or represent a local path for example. Check the documentation and be sure that you know the classes you're using.
https://developer.apple.com/reference/foundation/nsurl
In Swift try to create a URL with String (through unwrapping):
if let url = URL(String: jobUrlArray[indexPath.row]) {
let safariVC = SFSafariViewController(url: jobUrl)
}
or use url? in code
but be sure you don't use explicitly unwrapped optional like:
let safariVC = SFSafariViewController(url: URL(string: JobUrl)!)
your code might crash, it's not safe.

UITable Won't display. Value type 'FilmsAPITableViewCell' has no member 'movieTitle'

I am getting build errors when trying to display jSON data in Xcode using Swift 3. I am going to copy a portion of my code to this page with hopes you guys can assist me.
I have found similar questions on this site however answers don't seem to help.

}
print("Hello")
self.tableView.reloadData()
print(self.FilmArray)
}

}
}
Here is also output from FilmsAPITableViewCell.swift
import UIKit
import UIKit
class FilmsAPITableViewCell: UITableViewCell {
#IBOutlet weak var movieTitle: UILabel!
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
// Initialization code
}
override func setSelected(_ selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)
// Configure the view for the selected state
}
}
The reason why movieTitle is nil is because your custom cell class does not have that label outlet. You need to create a UILabel in your .xib (or storyboard) and create an outlet connection inside your custom cell class.
It also seems like no self.tableView.reloadData() exists in your completion block. Try adding that right after the print("Hello") line.
P.S. Don't forget to dispatch the reload to the main queue.
Here is also your code which I edited as to get it working:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
tableView.dataSource = self
tableView.delegate = self
let url:URL = URL(string: film_url)!
let session = URLSession.shared

request.setValue("Basic YmhlZW0uZW5nckBnbWFpbC5jb206YmgzM20=", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")
request.cachePolicy = NSURLRequest.CachePolicy.reloadIgnoringCacheData
let paramString = ""
request.httpBody = paramString.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8)
let task = session.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest, completionHandler: {
(
data, response, error) in
guard let _:Data = data, let _:URLResponse = response , error == nil else {
return
}
var json:Any?
do
{
if let existingData = data {
json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: existingData, options: [])
}
// Prasing JSON
if let parsedData = json as? [[String:Any]] {
for dict in parsedData {
if let title = dict["title"] as? String {
self.FilmArray.append(title)
}
}
OperationQueue.main.addOperation({
self.tableView.reloadData()
})
}
}
catch
{
return
}
guard let server_response = json as? NSDictionary else
{
return
}
if let data_block = server_response["data"] as? NSDictionary
{
if let session_data = data_block["session"] as? String
{
// self.login_session = session_data
let preferences = UserDefaults.standard
preferences.set(session_data, forKey: "session")
// DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: self.LoginDone)
}
}
})
task.resume()
}

I can not get the json data to display in my second UIViewController

I have the following two functions in my first ViewController. They load a UITableView with over 300 rows. I call the loadRemoteData function inside the ViewDidLoad. Everything works fine in the first ViewController.
// MARK: - parseJSON
func parseJSON(data: NSData) {
do {
let json = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: .MutableContainers)
if let rootDictionary = json as? [NSObject: AnyObject], rootResults = rootDictionary["results"] as? [[NSObject: AnyObject]] {
for childResults in rootResults {
if let firstName = childResults["first_name"] as? String,
let lastName = childResults["last_name"] as? String,
let bioguideId = childResults["bioguide_id"] as? String,
let state = childResults["state"] as? String,
let stateName = childResults["state_name"] as? String,
let title = childResults["title"] as? String,
let party = childResults["party"] as? String {
let eachLegislator = Legislator(firstName: firstName, lastName: lastName, bioguideId: bioguideId, state: state, stateName: stateName, title: title, party: party)
legislators.append(eachLegislator)
}
}
}
} catch {
print(error)
}
}
// MARK: - Remote Data configuration
func loadRemoteData() {
let config = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration()
let session = NSURLSession(configuration: config)
let url = "https://somedomain.com/legislators?order=state_name__asc,last_name__asc&fields=first_name,last_name,bioguide_id"
if let url = NSURL(string: url) {
let task = session.dataTaskWithURL(url, completionHandler: { (data, response, error) -> Void in
if let error = error {
print("Data Task failed with error: \(error)")
return
}
if let http = response as? NSHTTPURLResponse, data = data {
if http.statusCode == 200 {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
self.parseJSON(data)
self.tableView.reloadData()
}
}
}
})
task.resume()
}
}
In the second ViewController, I want to display more information about the individual listed in the cell that is tapped, for that I use a different URL such as https://somedomain.com/legislators?bioguide_id=\"\(bioguideId)\" which provides me with a lot more detail. (The data being requested from the JSON Dictionary is different)
The code I use in the second ViewController is just like shown above with the only difference being the URL. I can print the url coming from the previous ViewController and it is displayed in the console log but no json data is shown.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Below is the code for my second ViewController:
import UIKit
class DetailViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate {
var bioguideId: String?
var currentLegislator: Legislator? = nil
var currentLegislatorUrl: String?
let reuseIdentifier = "Cell"
#IBOutlet weak var imageView: UIImageView!
#IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!
// MARK: - parseJSON
private func parseJSON(data: NSData) {
do {
let json = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: .MutableContainers)

let state = childResults["state"] as? String,
let stateName = childResults["state_name"] as? String,
let title = childResults["title"] as? String,
let party = childResults["party"] as? String {
currentLegislator = Legislator(firstName: firstName, lastName: lastName, bioguideId: bioguideId, state: state, stateName: stateName, title: title, party: party)
}
}
}
} catch {
print(error)
}
}
// MARK: - Remote Data configuration
func loadRemoteData(url: String) {
let config = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration()
let session = NSURLSession(configuration: config)
let url = currentLegislatorUrl
if let url = NSURL(string: url!) {
let task = session.dataTaskWithURL(url, completionHandler: { (data, response, error) -> Void in
if let error = error {
print("Data Task failed with error: \(error)")
return
}
print("Success")
if let http = response as? NSHTTPURLResponse, data = data {
if http.statusCode == 200 {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
self.parseJSON(data)
self.tableView.reloadData()
}
}
}
})
task.resume()
}
}
func loadImage(urlString:String) {
let imgURL: NSURL = NSURL(string: urlString)!
let request: NSURLRequest = NSURLRequest(URL: imgURL)
let session = NSURLSession.sharedSession()
let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request){
(data, response, error) -> Void in
if (error == nil && data != nil) {
func display_image() {
self.imageView.image = UIImage(data: data!)
}
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), display_image)
}
}
task.resume()
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
print(currentLegislatorUrl!)
loadRemoteData(currentLegislatorUrl!)
loadImage("https://theunitedstates.io/images/congress/225x275/\(bioguideId!).jpg")
self.title = bioguideId
}
func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 1
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return 5
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(reuseIdentifier, forIndexPath: indexPath)
cell.textLabel!.text = currentLegislator?.firstName
return cell
}
}
Thanks to Adam H. His comment made me reevaluate the URL I was using and by adding additional operators, now the data is shown in my second ViewController.

Swift - Manage tasks to populate UITableView

The view I'm developing does the following:
Sends a GET request to the API to retrieve a list of users
Sends GET requests to the API to retrieve profile images from the list of users
Display the images in TableViewCells
However, I'm having problem managing the tasks and the queues. What is the best way to be sure that all the requests and tasks are done before populating the Table View?
Here's the code:
import UIKit
class homeViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
#IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!
var jsonData : [NSDictionary] = [NSDictionary]()
var imageUrls: NSDictionary = NSDictionary()
var urlsArray: [NSURL] = [NSURL]()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let qualityOfServiceClass = QOS_CLASS_BACKGROUND
let backgroundQueue = dispatch_get_global_queue(qualityOfServiceClass, 0)
dispatch_async(backgroundQueue, {
self.refreshData()
self.getImage()
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), { () -> Void in
self.tableView.reloadData()
})
})
}
override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return jsonData.count
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
var type = jsonData[indexPath.row]["type"] as! Int
for typej in jsonData {
let t : Int = typej["type"] as! Int
println("type : \(t)")
}
if type == 1 {
let cell1 : cellTableViewCell = self.tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cell") as! cellTableViewCell
/* //If images url are retrieved, load them. Otherwise, load the placeholders
if self.urlsArray.isEmpty == false {
println("Tiè: \(self.urlsArray[indexPath.row])")
if let data = NSData(contentsOfURL: self.urlsArray[indexPath.row]) {
cell1.profileImg?.image = UIImage(data: data)
}
} else {
cell1.profileImg?.image = UIImage(named: "placeholder.png")
}*/
let block: SDWebImageCompletionBlock! = {
(image: UIImage!, error: NSError!, cacheType: SDImageCacheType, imageURL: NSURL!) -> Void in
println(self)
}
println("url Array: \(self.urlsArray)")
let url = NSURL(string: "http://adall.ga/s/profile-1439584252497.png")
if UIApplication.sharedApplication().canOpenURL(urlsArray[indexPath.row]) {
cell1.profileImg.sd_setImageWithURL(urlsArray[indexPath.row], completed: block)
} else {
cell1.profileImg.sd_setImageWithURL(url, completed: block)
}
cell1.testLbl.text = (self.jsonData[indexPath.row]["author"] as? String)!
return cell1
} else {
let cell2 : cell2TableViewCell = self.tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cell2") as! cell2TableViewCell
return cell2
}
}
func refreshData() {
let requestURL = NSURL(string:"http://adall.ga/api/feeds/author/mat/0")!
var request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: requestURL)
request.HTTPMethod = "GET"
request.addValue(userToken, forHTTPHeaderField: "tb-token")
let session = NSURLSession.sharedSession()
let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request) {
data, response, error in
println(response)
var dataString = NSString(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
println(dataString)
//let jsonResult : NSDictionary = (NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers, error: nil) as? NSDictionary)!
//jsonData = (NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options:NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers , error: nil) as? NSArray)!
self.jsonData = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.AllowFragments, error: nil) as! [NSDictionary]
}
task.resume()
var index: Int
for index = 0; index < 10000; ++index {
print("Index: \(index), Task state: \(task.state)")
}
}
func getImage() {
var i = 0
for jsonSingleData in jsonData {
let author = jsonSingleData["author"] as! String
let requestURL2 = NSURL(string: "http://adall.ga/api/users/" + author + "/image")!
var request2 = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: requestURL2)
request2.HTTPMethod = "GET"
request2.addValue(userToken!, forHTTPHeaderField: "tb-token")
let session2 = NSURLSession.sharedSession()
let task2 = session2.dataTaskWithRequest(request2) {
data, response, error in
println("response= \(response)")
var dataString = NSString(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
println(dataString)
self.imageUrls = (NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers, error: nil) as! NSDictionary)
if self.imageUrls["url"] != nil {
//check if exists
let imageUrl = self.imageUrls["url"] as! String
let url = NSURL(string: "http://" + imageUrl)
self.urlsArray.append(url!)
} else {
let imageUrl = "http://shackmanlab.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/person-placeholder.jpg"
let url = NSURL(string: imageUrl)
self.urlsArray.append(url!)
}
}
task2.resume()
self.tableView.reloadData()
}
}
/*
// MARK: - Navigation
// In a storyboard-based application, you will often want to do a little preparation before navigation
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
// Get the new view controller using segue.destinationViewController.
// Pass the selected object to the new view controller.
}
*/
}
The point of the issue is the following code:
dispatch_async(backgroundQueue, {
self.refreshData()
self.getImage()
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), { () -> Void in
self.tableView.reloadData()
})
})
The NSURLSession working in the background thread, so your jsonData is empty when the self.getImage() and reloadData are executed.
You can call the self.getImage() after this line
self.jsonData = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.AllowFragments, error: nil) as! [NSDictionary]
in the session.dataTaskWithRequest completed block and calls reloadData(on the dispatch_get_main_queue) in the completed block of the session2.dataTaskWithRequest.
I think this will solved your issue.

Swift - Populating UITableView with data from API

I am trying to set up a feed page with a UITableView, retrieving all the JSON data from Node.js API.
Looks like it it is working, but it is very slow and sometimes does not retrieve all the images. Is there a way to make it work completely, and to optimize the code?
import UIKit
class homeViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
#IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!

Hi for loading images you can use SDWebImage it will take care of all the heavy lifting and caching for you. here's how:
// Here we use the new provided sd_setImageWithURL: method to load the web image
[cell.imageView sd_setImageWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.domain.com/path/to/image.jpg"]
placeholderImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"placeholder.png"]
completed:^(UIImage *image, NSError *error, SDImageCacheType cacheType, NSURL *imageURL) {... completion code here ...}];
Here's a Swift example
