Please help. try to find answer 48 ours, but ... It looks like that I can't create and test parse object. My gradle: apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

my ribbit application: package lt.mc.ribbit;

import android.app.Application;

import com.parse.Parse; import com.parse.ParseObject;

/**

  • Created by MC on 2015.06.17. */ public class RibbitApplication extends Application {

    @Override public void onCreate() { super.onCreate();

    // Enable Local Datastore.
    Parse.enableLocalDatastore(this);
    
    Parse.initialize(this, "FcZAWQMVaErlDJBPWD4Cf4zicvso7DTXLkB4GBFg", "nsSqNi2ZzrSgnc7CgBRgjJm3vp1Q0haXPgOFhenO");
    
    ParseObject testObject = new ParseObject("TestObject");
    testObject.put("foo", "bar");
    testObject.saveInBackground();
    

    } }

Why that f***** code don't work? I'm also updated SDK.

SOLVED. Parse is very sensitive for proxy settings.

Guys,... Here is all you need to do:

  1. 1st go to https://github.com/ParsePlatform/Parse-SDK-Android and click at the hiperlink "download latest jar".

  2. Copy this into your libs folder (C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AndroidStudioProjects\Ribbit\app\libs)

  3. Add this in your app.gradle module:

dependencies { compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['.jar']) compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.8.0' compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.+' compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: 'Parse-.jar') }

  1. Change the Manifest to something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.andrecolares.ribbit" >

<!-- To access Google+ APIs: -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<!--

To retrieve OAuth 2.0 tokens or invalidate tokens to disconnect a user. This disconnect option is required to comply with the Google+ Sign-In developer policies --> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS" /> <!-- To retrieve the account name (email) as part of sign-in: --> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" /> <!-- To auto-complete the email text field in the login form with the user's emails --> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PROFILE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
    android:name=".RibbitApplication">
    <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity
        android:name=".LoginActivity"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_login"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
    </activity>
    <activity
        android:name=".SignUpActivity"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_sign_up"
        android:parentActivityName=".LoginActivity"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
    </activity>

    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
        android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
</application>

</manifest>

  1. Create the RibbitAplication.java class:

package com.andrecolares.ribbit;

import android.app.Application;

import com.parse.Parse; import com.parse.ParseObject;

public class RibbitApplication extends Application {

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();

    // Enable Local Datastore.
    Parse.enableLocalDatastore(this);

    Parse.initialize(this, "4fUuxD8WergbbsokR1b3jXsZPw6xyXBB1hwlKDbR", "l2BdQOGp4DUpReJVbl9eCXRkfbf2gow4t17oY1ZM");

    ParseObject testObject = new ParseObject("TestObject");
    testObject.put("Andre", "Colares");
    testObject.saveInBackground();
}

}

Remember to pick the Parse.initialize from your parse.com (https://www.parse.com/apps/quickstart#parse_data/mobile/android/native/existing)

  1. Update the MainActivity:

package com.andrecolares.ribbit;
