Display images in UITableview - json

Question

I'm trying to display images from api in the tableview but I get no images or anything. ImageTableViewCell has the outlet to the image only.
import UIKit
import Alamofire
import SwiftyJSON
import Haneke
class SlideViewController: UIViewController , UITableViewDelegate , UITableViewDataSource {
#IBOutlet weak var tableview : UITableView!
var images = [String]()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
tableview.delegate = self
tableview.dataSource = self
getJSON()
}
func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 0
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return images.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "imageCell", for: indexPath) as! ImageTableViewCell
let url = URL(string: images[indexPath.row])
cell.images.hnk_setImage(from: url!)
return cell
}
func getJSON() {
let url = "http://localhost:8000/api/hello"
request(url , method: .get, encoding: JSONEncoding.default )
.responseJSON { response in
if let value: AnyObject = response.result.value as AnyObject? {
//Handle the results as JSON
do{
if let albums = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: response.data!, options: []) as? [String: Any],
let pics = albums["pic"] as? [Any] {
self.images = pics as! [String]
for kick in pics {
self.images.append(kick as! String)
}
}
}catch {
print("Error with Json: \(error)")
}
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.tableview.reloadData()
}
}
}
}
}
Any help will be appreciated. I tried many methods but this seems to be simple and easy to follow up

Answer 1

Check below code
var images = [String]()
func getJSON() {
let url = "http://localhost:8000/api/hello"
request(url , method: .get, encoding: JSONEncoding.default )
.responseJSON { response in
if let value: AnyObject = response.result.value as AnyObject? {
//Handle the results as JSON
do{
let albums = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: response.data!, options:.allowFragments) as! [[String: AnyObject]]
print(albums)
if let pics = album["pic"]
{
for album in pics
{
images.append(album)
}
}
}catch {
print("Error with Json: \(error)")
}
self.tableview.reloadData()
}
}
}

Your JSON response is Dictionary not Array and its contains pic array inside of it. So type result of jsonObject(with:options:) to [String:Any] instead of [[String: AnyObject]]
do{
if let albums = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: response.data!, options: []) as? [String: Any],
let pics = albums["pics"] as? [Any] {
images = pics.flatMap{ $0 as? String }
}
}catch {
print("Error with Json: \(error)")
}
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.tableview.reloadData()
}

You must have at least one section to show.
func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 1
}
