how to add image in a static cell of a table view programmatically

Question

I have added an image view in one of the image view.I could have use Attributes inspector and then change the image property but i want to do it programmatically.

So far this is what i have done and get the following error

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'unable to dequeue a cell with identifier account_cell - must register a nib or a class for the identifier or connect a prototype cell in a storyboard

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

        var cell:UITableViewCell! = UITableViewCell()


        if indexPath.section == 0{

            if indexPath.row == 0{
                cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("account_cell", forIndexPath: indexPath)

                if let AccountImage = cell.viewWithTag(100) as? UIImageView{
                     AccountImage.image = UIImage(named: "Friend_g")?.imageWithRenderingMode(.AlwaysOriginal)
                }



            }
        }
        print("\(indexPath)")
        return cell
    }

Can someone give me a beginners guide how can i achieve it programmatically.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks in advance.

What is the name set of your cell in Inspector: "account_cell"? — Bista, Jan 18 '16 at 06:40
@the_Ub you can see in the picture it is account_cell already. — jameshwart lopez, Jan 18 '16 at 06:42

You don't need to use cellForRowAtIndexPath for assign image in your cell because you cells are statics.

One easy way to assign image into static cell is just create IBOutlet of that imageView this way:

@IBOutlet weak var UserImage: UIImageView!

After that assign image to UserImage in your viewDidLoad method this way:

override func viewDidLoad() {

    UserImage.image = UIImage(named: "Friends_g")
    self.tableView.separatorColor = UIColor.clearColor()
}

And result will be:

Can I ask how to center the image? – jameshwart lopez Jan 18 '16 at 10:10
You can center it from storyBoard. – Dharmesh Kheni Jan 18 '16 at 10:12
I use the Size inspector Arrange attribute to Center Horizontally in center but it doesnt center it. – jameshwart lopez Jan 18 '16 at 10:27
So you want to center it with constraint? – Dharmesh Kheni Jan 18 '16 at 10:29
Yes. I also want to center it. – jameshwart lopez Jan 18 '16 at 10:31

I am working with Objective-c and in Objective-c i can add image in cell using this following code.

UIImageView *imv = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(3,2, 20, 25)];
imv.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"user.jpg"];
[cell.contentView addSubview:imv];
