Hey I am able to take images with camera' click on a button and upload the file to parse. I need help retrieving.

As mentioned in the title, I would like to retrieve images I post to parse and display in a listview with custom adapter. Can someone point me to an adapter class that does this without getting out of memory error that causes app to crash?

PS. I am uploading images exactly as shown by Ben.

Thanks.

I'd recommend using a library like Picasso to download the images. You can use the resize(int, int) method to download smaller versions for display in the ListView. You can modify the custom ListView and adapter in stage 7 with Picasso to build what you are looking for.

Can you display a comment feature using picasso where users can comment on the image?

Building a comment feature is a little more complex, but totally doable. Picasso is a tool simply for downloading the image. You'll need to add an EditText to enter comments, then save them to the back-end with the ID of the image you are viewing. You'll then need to add a query to get all the comments for a specific image.

Thanks ben for putting my on the right direction to building that feature. How would I then display it in the app? Is there another tool besides piccasso? I have one more questions if you could answer them.

How would I go about uploading an image so that All users can see what one user uploads?
