Parse Local Datastore - pinInBackground()

I am attempting to use the Parse local datastore feature on Android and am having a problem at the very first step, I simply pasted the sample code:

Parse.enableLocalDatastore(this);
Parse.initialize(this, "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx");

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

gameScore.pinInBackground();

And Android studio gives the following error: cannot find symbol method pinInBackground()

Ultimately I would like to have an adapter available to use offline, i.e:

ParseQueryAdapter<ParseObject> adapter = new ParseQueryAdapter<ParseObject>(this, "TestObject");
adapter.pinInBackground(); //Is this possible??

I haven't used the local datastore yet, but it looks awesome! It looks like the pinInBackground() method requires a SaveCallback parameter.

The ParseQueryAdapter class does not have any pin methods, and it doesn't extend ParseObject, so it looks like you would need to try something else for your 2nd question.
