Synching parse object array with UIImageView array - ios

Question

I'm building an app for creating events which uses parse as a back end. The main interface is a collection view with a custom cell, which when flipped displays an array of UIImageViews added to the cell file as an IBOutlet collection.
#IBOutlet var imageViewArray: [UIImageView]!
Inside the event.getDataInBackground block I have this code, which doesn't get called for some reason, I think it will work once it is but does anyone know what's up? Thanks!
//gets profile pictures for image view array on back of cell
if let attendeeArray = event?.objectForKey("attendees") as? [PFUser] {
for var index = 0; index < attendeeArray.count; ++index {
let profileImageView = cell.imageViewArray[index]
let usr : PFUser = (attendeeArray[index] as PFUser?)!
if let picture = usr.objectForKey("profilePicture") as? PFFile {
picture.getDataInBackgroundWithBlock({ (data, error) -> Void in
profileImageView.image = UIImage(data: data!)
})
}
}
}
The whole cell for row at index path method (The creator image shows up and is called but the attendee array part is not).
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
//sets up cell
let cell : EventCell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier("cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! EventCell
//adds attend action
cell.attendButton.addTarget(self, action: "buttonTapped:", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
//queries parse for events
let event = events?[indexPath.row]
event?.eventImage.getDataInBackgroundWithBlock({ (data, error) -> Void in
if let data = data, image = UIImage(data: data) {
cell.eventBackgroundImage.image = image
cell.eventTitleLabel.text = event?.eventTitle
//gets profile picture of events creator
if let eventCreator = event?.objectForKey("user") as? PFUser {
if let creatorImage = eventCreator.objectForKey("profilePicture") as? PFFile {
creatorImage.getDataInBackgroundWithBlock({ (data, error) -> Void in
cell.creatorImageView.image = UIImage(data: data!)
})
}
}
//gets profile pictures for image view array on back of cell
if let attendeeArray = event?.objectForKey("attendees") as? [PFUser] {
for var index = 0; index < attendeeArray.count; ++index {
let profileImageView = cell.imageViewArray[index]
let usr : PFUser = (attendeeArray[index] as PFUser?)!
if let picture = usr.objectForKey("profilePicture") as? PFFile {
picture.getDataInBackgroundWithBlock({ (data, error) -> Void in
profileImageView.image = UIImage(data: data!)
})
}
}
}
//sets correct category for cell image
if event?.category == "" {
cell.categoryImageView.image = nil
}
if event?.category == "The Arts" {
cell.categoryImageView.image = UIImage(named: "Comedy")
}
if event?.category == "The Outdoors" {
cell.categoryImageView.image = UIImage(named: "Landscape")
}
if event?.category == "Other" {
cell.categoryImageView.image = UIImage(named: "Dice")
}
if event?.category == "Sports" {
cell.categoryImageView.image = UIImage(named: "Exercise")
}
if event?.category == "Academics" {
cell.categoryImageView.image = UIImage(named: "University")
}
if event?.category == "Science" {
cell.categoryImageView.image = UIImage(named: "Physics")
}
if event?.category == "Entertainment" {
cell.categoryImageView.image = UIImage(named: "Bowling")
}
if event?.category == "Food & Drinks" {
cell.categoryImageView.image = UIImage(named: "Food")
}
if let date = event?.eventDate {
let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
cell.eventDescriptionLabel.text = event?.eventDescription
cell.eventDateLabel.text = dateFormatter.stringFromDate(date)
}
}
})
cell.layer.cornerRadius = 20
return cell
}

You need to fetch the usr before you can get picture
usr.fetchIfNeededInBackgroundWithBlock({ (object: PFObject?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
if let picture = object.objectForKey("profilePicture") as? PFFile {
picture.getDataInBackgroundWithBlock({ (data, error) -> Void in
profileImageView.image = UIImage(data: data!)
})
}
})
