.5 Create a test app in Parse dashboard to get AppID and ClientKey (found in: App Settings -> Security and keys)
1. Download the latest Parse.jar, and copy and paste to your app/lib/Parse.jar.
then add:
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: 'Parse-*.jar')
}
to /GradleScripts/build.graddle(app)
2. Now create a new directory ParseApp, here we are going to setup the parse app, Create class ParseSetup ( we will add this class to your Manifest).
public class ParseSetup extends Application {
@Override public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Parse.enableLocalDatastore(this);
Parse.initialize(this); //setupParse(); ParseObject testObject = new ParseObject("TestObject"); testObject.put("foo", "bar222"); testObject.saveInBackground();
}
}
3. Open AndroidManifest.xml and add the name of the Parse App class here (ParseSetup). ex:
<application android:name=".ParseApp.ParseSetup" android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_gamma" android:label="@string/app_name" android:supportsRtl="true" android:theme="@style/AppTheme"> <activity android:name=".MainActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity>
<meta-data android:name="com.parse.APPLICATION_ID" android:value="your_ID" /> <meta-data android:name="com.parse.CLIENT_KEY" android:value="your_key" />
also add the below Permissions:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
