I am trying to set background image on the PFQueryTableViewController. I tried dragging the table from the story board (Ref. outlet: tableView) but I am not able to make the code work referring to that outlet. 

    let image = UIImage(named: "Background")
    tableView.backgroundView = UIImageView(image: image)

The app crashes stating:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Could not load NIB in bundle:.

I even tried setting the background color tableView.backgroundColor = UIColor.greenColor()

But again, the app crashes

Can someone explain what's going on in here? I searched online, but most of the posts are only related to fetching images inside the PFQueryTableViewController cell.

Try using the same code inside the queryForTable() block that returns query. It should work. No need of reference outlet.

Code should be something like:

override func queryForTable() -> PFQuery {

  let image = UIImage(named: "YourImageName")
  tableView.backgroundView = UIImageView(image: image)

  // your PFQueryTableViewController query goes here.... 

  return query
}

  • Exactly what I needed. Thanks – Vicky Arora Oct 24 '15 at 23:49
  • wait what why set it in the `queryForTable`?? the error you're getting is because it can't load the nib file. How did this code fix your problem? – hhanesand Oct 25 '15 at 00:08
  • @lightice11 Do you have a better solution? Or anything wrong in this solution? Please elaborate. To your question, I have not added any nib file myself. I am using PFQueryTableViewController. Loading data inside that using Parse query. – Vicky Arora Oct 25 '15 at 00:13
  • @VickyArora could you post some more of your view controller code? – hhanesand Oct 25 '15 at 00:14
