Parse.com; Geo Query TableView with images.

Hi Guys

I am creating an app using Parse.com, I want to be able to display the users and there profile pictures in a table view, but I want it to query the closest users to the current user first, in the User class there is a cell called 'location' which will store the location of the users last time on the app, I am assuming that I have to use Geo Query's but does any one know, firstly how to display images queried from parse in a table view, and secondly sort these by closest to current users location?

Thanks

Hi. Okay first of all it is a bad idea to store location related infos in a tableviewcell class. A tableviewcell should NOT act as Model. Which will be the case if you store Data in it. The better way: Define a model class in which you can Store your Data.

With NSUrlSession you can retrieve Data in a JSON Format From Parse.com.

Using the Delegation Pattern you can Store the Data in your Model.

Include the UITableViewData Source to your TableView Controler and implement the 3 required Methods:

TableView:numberOfSections TableView: numberOfRowsInSection TableView: cellForRowAt IndexPath:IndexPath

Implement these with your Model. Reference to your Tableviewcell and everything should work. If not... ask:)
