Now, save currentUserId in the ParseInstallation variable using the put() method. Use the key "userId".

please help um stuck on this one

LoginActivity.java 
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.parse.ParseInstallation;
import com.parse.ParseUser;

public class LoginActivity extends Activity {

    /*
     * Some code has been omitted for brevity!
     * This method gets called upon a successful login.
     */

    public void updateParseInstallation() {
        String currentUserId = ParseUser.getCurrentUser().getObjectId();

      ParseInstallation installation = ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation();
     installation.put("userId", ParseUser.getCurrentUserId());
          }
}
InviteActivity.java 
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.parse.ParseInstallation;
import com.parse.ParseQuery;

public class InviteActivity extends Activity {

    /*
     * Some code has been omitted for brevity!
     * This method gets called when an invitation is sent.
     */

    public void sendPushNotifications(String playerId) {
        ParseQuery<ParseInstallation> pushQuery;
    }
}

Right - got it. 

        String currentUserId = ParseUser.getCurrentUser().getObjectId();

        ParseInstallation installation;
        installation = ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation();
        installation.put("userId", currentUserId);

Hope that makes sense!

I haven't done this course yet but will in the future, I'm sure.

However, in your line, installation.put("userId", ParseUser.getCurrentUserId()); the second parameter has already been resolved above and stored in currentUserID.

Could your line be amended slightly to look like:

installation.put("userId", currentUserID);
