Unable to add Test Object to Parse.com

Hi guys,

Please assist. I am unable to add the Test object to Parse. The app launches without any errors and I have no clue why the data is not being added to the back end.

Any pointers are most welcome.

This is the code as per Parses' instruction to add the TestObject, and I have adopted it as is: 

    ParseObject testObject = new ParseObject("TestObject");
    testObject.put("foo", "bar");
    testObject.saveInBackground();

Hey there,

I've never done this course but could the trouble that you capitalized "TestObject" when it should be testObject.

I've pasted the code I am using as is from the Parse website. "TestObject" is capitalised only in the forum question.

Thanks for trying to help.

Hi guys,

Managed to resolve the issue. Data wasn't being added to Parse because there was no communication between my app and Parse.com i.e. Internet wise. I had to configure my emulator's wireless connection to use a manual proxy since the network I am connecting to uses an enterprise proxy server.

Happy coding guys.
