Hi. Other ParseObjects on the parse backend can be created in the same way as the message object was created in the Ribbit project. Here's an example from the Parse.com docs:

ParseObject gameScore = new ParseObject("GameScore");
gameScore.put("score", 1337);
gameScore.put("playerName", "Sean Plott");
gameScore.put("cheatMode", false);
gameScore.saveInBackground();

The first line creates a new ParseObject called "GameScore", adds a field called "score" with the value of '1337'. Adds several other fields and values, and then saves the object to the Parse.com backend in the final line.

The guide from Parse.com here: https://www.parse.com/docs/android_guide is pretty good in MOST respects. ;)

Let us know if you have anymore questions.

Based on extra info in your tweet, it sounds like your idea is to tie multiple objects to a single message. Just like James Pamplona said, you can create additional objects in your code just like that example and like what we show in the course. You provide the class name and add the fields you want.

The trick of tying them together is to use the Object ID of your Message class to relate the objects together. You can use a ParseRelation to relate the message to each object, or you could even include the ObjectIDs of each object in the message. If it is four different objects, you might one one field for each object ID.

Thanks...
