General

Hi,
I have imported my Parse data and my images are linked with data, so when I want to call data with images it fetch only a link. See below the script. How can I call images as UIImage?
func fetching() {
let backendless = Backendless()
let query = BackendlessDataQuery()
backendless.persistenceService.of(Menu.ofClass()).find(
query,
response: { ( menu : BackendlessCollection!) -> () in
let currentPage = menu.getCurrentPage()
print(“Loaded (currentPage.count) Menu objects”)
for menu in currentPage as! [Menu] {
print(“Menu name = (menu.name)”)
self.name.text = menu.name
self.type.text = menu.type
print(“Type = (menu.type)”)
print(menu.image)
}
},
error: { ( fault : Fault!) -> () in
print(“Server reported an error: (fault)”)
}
)
}

Hi Edis,

Please clarify your use case:

  • did you upload your images using FileService?
  • did you save image url in Menu table using PersistenceService?
  • when you retrieved the Menu object - what are you going to do with it?

Add Menu class and some screenshots of your backendless app dashboard here.
We need more information to help you.

Hi Vya,

I just figured out :slight_smile: , here is the extra script I have added to func:

dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue())
{
let url = NSURL(string: menu.image)
let dataimage = NSData(contentsOfURL: url!)
self.images.image = UIImage(data: dataimage!)
}

Thank you in advance.
