ParseUser with profile picture

is it possible to create ParseUser with profile picture when user first time creates his account?

i followed the Ribbit tutorial and I don't understand how to store pictures value in the string so I can add it to the:

ParseUser newUser = new ParseUser();
newUser.setUsername(username);
newUser.setPassword(password);
newUser.put("name", name);
newUser.setEmail(email);

newUser.put("profilepicture", value)

I don't know how can I get that value because in Ribbit we store value in Intent and take them to the different Activity.

I can paste my code if it's necessary

If you continue the Ribbit application you will learn how to upload and download image files using a custom ParseObject. You can use the same principles and add fields to the user object to achieve a profile picture feature.
