Failed to initialize mongo connection

Hello, I am working on the self destructing message app and was just finishing up the video "Setting Where Photos are Saved". When I run the app on the Genymotion emulator I am suddenly getting the error dialog "Failed to initialize mongo connection". What does this mean and how can I get rid of it? Thanks.

I'm not super knowledgeable about Android dev, but from what I'm seeing it looks like that can happen when Parse is having issues. Here's a post on their forum with a similar sounding error.

Parse Outage + Failure + runEventually = App Crash
