I'm develop the search method so that you can search users the code it's that one.
searchText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.inputSearch);
searchButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.Search);
searchButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String searchedUser = searchText.getText().toString();
searchedUser = searchedUser.trim();
if (searchedUser.isEmpty()) {
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(EditFriendsActivity.this);
builder.setMessage(R.string.error_message_search)
.setTitle(R.string.signup_error_title)
.setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok, null);
AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
dialog.show();
}
else {
//search for the user!
setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(true);
//searchedUser.search
ParseQuery<ParseUser> query = ParseQuery.getQuery(searchedUser);
query.whereEqualTo("username", searchedUser);
query.findInBackground(new FindCallback<ParseUser>() {
public void done(List<ParseUser> searchList, ParseException e) {
if (e == null) {
searchedUserList = searchList;
String[] usernames = new String[searchedUserList.size()];
int i = 0;
for(ParseUser user : searchedUserList) {
usernames[i] = user.getClassName();
i++;
}
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
EditFriendsActivity.this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_checked,
usernames);
setListAdapter(adapter);
addFriendCheckmarks();
} else {
Log.d("username", "Error: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
});
}
}
});
}
Cant figure out why I continue to see the progress bar and nothing is added to the list

.getQuery() is a method belonging to the class ParseUser not ParseQuery. Example:
ParseQuery<ParseUser> query = ParseUser.getQuery(searchedUser);
as indicated here:Parse Documentation

if (e == null) {
add this
it will make loader disappear after the query is done
