I am getting a null exception point from ParseFile ?

The parse file returns null, which cause the second line to throw a null exception point. this is the code :

ParseFile UriFile = message.getParseFile("files");

Uri dataUri = Uri.parse(UriFile.getUrl());

check your app in parse.com to see if you have included the parsefile in the message.

make sure that you have this line of code when creating the message message.put(ParseConstants.KEY_FILE, file);
