Catching the Parse kPFErrorConnectionFailed error-code & Cancelling the pullToRefresh’s UIActivityIndicatorView in the IOS PFQueryTableViewController

Question

I have two questions as follows:

I will like to catch the kPFErrorConnectionFailed error-code from the query in the IOS PFQueryTableViewController’s queryForTable. How do I go about it?
After the last attempt to connect to Network and I receive [Error]: Network connection failed, How do I cancel the pullToRefresh’s UIActivityIndicatorView which currently continues to load indefinitely?

What I’ve tried:

Concerning catching error-code kPFErrorConnectionFailed, I tried the following (which does not catch the error):

- (void)objectsDidLoad:(NSError *)error { [super objectsDidLoad:error]; if(error.code == kPFErrorConnectionFailed) {…} }

Don't be selective: `if(error) NSLog(@"error", error);` – zaph Jul 25 '15 at 19:33 — zaph, Jul 25 '15 at 19:33

A work around for Catching kPFErrorConnectionFailed is to use Apple's Reachability Class to check if the Parse Network Server is reachable before trying to load data.
A fix to the indefinite pullToRefresh UIActivityIndicatorView is to use kPFCachePolicyCacheThenNetwork as opposed to the kPFCachePolicyNetworkOnly. The kPFCachePolicyNetworkOnly keeps trying to load data from the network even with a bad connection. However, kPFCachePolicyCacheThenNetwork relies on the cached data when the network server is unreachable. Check here for more information
