iPhone UITableView image background when table is empty

Question

I would like to show an image background when my UITableView is empty. Currently I tried adding a UIImageView to my view controller that contains a table, but XCode doesn\'t all

Answer 1

In you numberOfRowsInSection method:

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {

    if data.count > 0 {

        return data.count
    }
    else{

        let image = UIImage(named: "Nature")
        let noDataImage = UIImageView(image: image)
        noDataImage.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: tableView.bounds.width, height: tableView.frame.height)
        tableView.backgroundView = noDataImage
        tableView.separatorStyle = .none

        return 0
    }
}

numberOfSections should be greater than 0
