Log error for signup with parse ?

Not sure what it is im doing wrong it wants me to log the error with log.e (TAG,"ERROR) which im doing but it seems that im missing something?

SignUpActivity.java 
import android.app.Activity;
import android.util.Log;
import com.parse.ParseUser;
import com.parse.ParseException;
import com.parse.SignUpCallback;

public class SignUpActivity extends Activity {

    public static final String TAG = SignUpActivity.class.getSimpleName();

    protected SignUpCallback mSignUpCallback = new SignUpCallback() {
        @Override
        public void done(ParseException e) {

        }
    };

    // onCreate() and other code has been omitted

    protected void signUp(String username, String password) {
        ParseUser user = new ParseUser();
        user.setUsername(username);
        user.setPassword(password);

         user.signUpInBackground(new SignUpCallback() {
                        public void done(ParseException e) {
                            if (e == null) {
                               Log.e(TAG,"ERROR");
                            } else {
                                // Sign up didn't succeed. Look at the ParseException
                                // to figure out what went wrong
                            }
                        }
                    });
    }
}

I assume this is one of the challenge question from Self Destructing Message Android App.

I think you might have miss out something, which the challenge requires us to do so.

First is that we need to pass in mSignUpCallback into signUpInBackground parameters. Secondly, I think the Log.e ("ERROR"); should be in the else block

try out the below code... 

import android.app.Activity;
import android.util.Log;
import com.parse.ParseUser;
import com.parse.ParseException;
import com.parse.SignUpCallback;

public class SignUpActivity extends Activity {

    public static final String TAG = SignUpActivity.class.getSimpleName();

    protected SignUpCallback mSignUpCallback = new SignUpCallback() {
        @Override
        public void done(ParseException e) {
          if(e==null){
            }
              else{
           Log.e(TAG,"ERROR");
                     }

        }
    };

    // onCreate() and other code has been omitted

    protected void signUp(String username, String password) {
      ParseUser newUser = new ParseUser();
      newUser.setUsername(username);
      newUser.setPassword(password);
      newUser.signUpInBackground(mSignUpCallback);

    }
}
