Hello,

In order to assist you further in debugging your code, we'll need to see the code that you are trying to run.

That message is occuring when you the project is making a query to Parse and does not find any results for the query. After you "sign up" it executes the query to populate the friends list, but you have no friends yet. So the project is displaying the error in a dialog. You will get the same error if you close the app without checking any friends and then opening it back up.

I just removed the dialog code causing the error, I think it was the AlertDialog in FriendsFragment.java. We are logging it so that should be enough. Likewise, you could change the AlertDialog to inform the user that they have no friends.
