Problems with Parse.com Android Workshop

I'm having trouble in executing the sample files both the start and final versions, as soon as they are built and run they force close.

I have added my own keys to the final so I am not able discern what the problem is.

It's kinda hard to provide any advice without seeing some code.

Please post some of your code, and some of the error logs. You wouldn't show up to a car mechanic without your car would you!?

Code from the ParseWorkshopApplication.java file

package com.teamtreehouse.parseworkshop;
import android.app.Application;
import com.parse.Parse; import com.parse.ParseACL; import com.parse.ParseUser;
public class ParseWorkshopApplication extends Application {
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        Parse.initialize(this, stuff,   otherstuff); 
        ParseACL defaultACL = new ParseACL();
        // If you would like all objects to be private by default, remove this
        // line.
        defaultACL.setPublicReadAccess(true);
        ParseACL.setDefaultACL(defaultACL, true);
    }
}

Well the final zip imports the parseUser but never uses it in the final build.

Here's the logcat

Really sorry about that! Somehow in saving my project files, the option to include the Parse JAR file became unchecked. I will fix that and upload a new version shortly.

In the mean time, you can fix it yourself by right-clicking on the TreehouseParseWorkshop project and select Build Path > Configure Build Path. In the Order and Export tab on the far right, make sure the "Android Private Libraries" box is checked (which will include the Parse JARs and other JARs in the libs directory). You may also need to clean and rebuild your project once you make this change.

Here is what that screen should look like:
