Hello everyone,
I have this app I am playing with around and when I tried to change this block of code it throws parseException error.
post.put("title", postTitle); post.put("content", postContent); post.put("author",ParseUser.getCurrentUser()); <--right here when I am changing it to: post.put("author",ParseUser.login(username,password)); it throws in error even though I have defined the variables in my code username and password and I have converted them from edittext to string. I even extend them in my current class, but no luck. I will post part of my code so you get the idea on what I am looking for.
Here is my loginClass:
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.Menu; import android.view.MenuItem; import android.widget.EditText; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.TextView; import android.view.Window; import android.view.View; import android.content.Intent; import android.app.AlertDialog; import com.parse.ParseUser; import com.parse.LogInCallback; import com.parse.ParseException; import android.app.Activity;
public class LoginActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
protected TextView mSignUpTextView;
protected EditText mUsername;
protected EditText mPassword;
protected Button mLoginButton;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);
//TextView Button mSignUpTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.signUpText); mSignUpTextView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, SignUpActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
mUsername = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.usernameField);
mPassword = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.passwordField);
mLoginButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.loginButton);
mLoginButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String username = mUsername.getText().toString();
String password = mPassword.getText().toString();
username = username.trim();
password = password.trim();
if (username.isEmpty() || password.isEmpty()) {
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(LoginActivity.this);
builder.setMessage(R.string.loginmessage)
.setTitle(R.string.login_error_title)
.setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok, null);
AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
dialog.show();
} else
// create the new user here
{
ParseUser.logInInBackground(username, password, new LogInCallback() {
@Override
public void done(ParseUser parseUser, ParseException e) {
if (e == null) {
//Success
Intent intent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
intent.addFlags(intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
} else {
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(LoginActivity.this);
builder.setMessage(e.getMessage())
.setTitle(R.string.login_error_title)
.setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok, null);
AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
dialog.show();
}
}
});
}
}
});
}
}
Here is my editNote class in which I am trying to implement the method I mentioned above:
import android.app.Activity; import android.app.AlertDialog; import android.content.Intent; import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log; import android.view.View; import android.view.Window; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.EditText; import android.widget.Toast; import com.parse.GetCallback; import com.parse.ParseObject; import com.parse.ParseQuery; import com.parse.ParseUser; import com.parse.SaveCallback;
public class EditNoteActivity extends Activity {
private Note note;
private EditText titleEditText;
private EditText contentEditText;
private String postTitle;
private String postContent;
private Button saveNoteButton;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS);
//getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_edit_note);
Intent intent = this.getIntent();
titleEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.noteTitle);
contentEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.noteContent);
if (intent.getExtras() != null) {
note = new Note(intent.getStringExtra("noteId"), intent.getStringExtra("noteTitle"), intent.getStringExtra("noteContent"));
titleEditText.setText(note.getTitle());
contentEditText.setText(note.getContent());
}
saveNoteButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.saveNote);
saveNoteButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
saveNote();
}
private void saveNote() {
postTitle = titleEditText.getText().toString();
postContent = contentEditText.getText().toString();
postTitle = postTitle.trim();
postContent = postContent.trim();
// If user doesn't enter a title or content, do nothing
// If user enters title, but no content, SAVE
// If user enters content with no title, give warning
// If user enters both title and content, SAVE
if (!postTitle.isEmpty()) {
// Check if post is being created or edited
if (note == null) {
// create new post
final ParseObject post = new ParseObject("Post");
post.put("title", postTitle);
post.put("content", postContent);
post.put("author", ParseUser.getCurrentUser()); // this is the part where I am trying to pass the ParseUser.login(username, password)); to help view to content by any logging users
setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(true);
post.saveInBackground(new SaveCallback() {
public void done(com.parse.ParseException e) {
setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false);
if (e == null) {
// Saved successfully.
note = new Note(post.getObjectId(), postTitle, postContent);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Saved", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else {
// The save failed.
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Failed to Save", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.d(getClass().getSimpleName(), "User update error: " + e);
}
}
});
}
else {
// update post
ParseQuery<ParseObject> query = ParseQuery.getQuery("Post");
// Retrieve the object by id
query.getInBackground(note.getId(), new GetCallback<ParseObject>() {
public void done(ParseObject post, com.parse.ParseException e) {
if (e == null) {
// Now let's update it with some new data.
post.put("title", postTitle);
post.put("content", postContent);
post.put("author", ParseUser.getCurrentUser());
setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(true);
post.saveInBackground(new SaveCallback() {
public void done(com.parse.ParseException e) {
setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false);
if (e == null) {
// SAVED successfully.
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "SAVED", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else {
// The SAVE failed.
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Failed to SAVE", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.d(getClass().getSimpleName(), "User update error: " + e);
}
}
});
}
}
});
}
}
else if (postTitle.isEmpty() && !postContent.isEmpty()) {
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(EditNoteActivity.this);
builder.setMessage(R.string.edit_error_message)
.setTitle(R.string.edit_error_title)
.setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok, null);
AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
dialog.show();
}
}
});
}
}
Hopefully that was clear.
Thanks in advance
