Android Question

Guest
can anyone guide me on how to start using parse on android from the scratch? i downloaded the zip file of the app from the site and extracted it. Can anyone please tell me which build.gradle to open? If you extract the Parse-Starter-Project-1.8.2.zip, you get a folder called gradle, a folder called ParseStarterProject, some files called build.gradle, setting.gradle and some other files. If i open that folder called ParseStarterProject that is inside Project-1.8.2.zip, it also has another build.gradle but no setting.gradle

which build.gradle should i open in android studio? the one which is inside Project-1.8.2.zip and has setting. gradle in the same directory or the one which is inside the ParseStartedProject folder that doesn't have a setting.gradle in the same folder??

if i open the build.gradle that is inside the folder ParseStartedProject and initialize my keys in ProjectApplication.java file, it says success. but when I make a new object and try to save it in background, log cat gives this error

02-22 12:28:33.280 1656-1656/com.parse.starter E/AndroidRuntime﹕ FATAL

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity
ComponentInfo{com.parse.starter/com.parse.starter.ParseStarterProjectActivity}: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: cannot setReadAccess for a user with null id


and then a lot of errors beneath it which includes this line too


Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: cannot setReadAccess for a user with null id

Hey. Sorry I don't have a solution but, out of interest, could you tell me what Parse is/does?
Cheers

Yeah, I wondered about that too, Funky :)....here's what I found (from here: http://blog.parse.com/):

What is Parse?
Click to expand...
Parse is a cloud platform that lets app developers quickly and easily integrate a lot of complicated, scalable server-side functionality into their products.

Parse has three main products:

Core: Store data and run code on a remote server.

Push: Send push notifications to your users via an API or the web composer.

Analytics: Track events in your app and gain valuable insights.

It’s important to note that Parse is built for real, production-level apps — so it has a lot of power under the hood. Thankfully, it also has a simple and easy-to-use API and a JavaScript SDK, so it’s the perfect addition to Framer prototypes. With Parse + Framer, you’ll be able to do almost anything: read and save data, create users and let them log in, remember app states, track events, and so much more.

documentation — you can do pretty much anything.

OP, your questions are pretty/very development-specific...it looks like there are some very good resources at the Parse main site: https://www.parse.com/help that can lead/direct you to some additional avenues of help.

Cheers and best of luck!
