Hello Friends,

I had the same problem. To get success on the Extra Credit you must do this:

Declare and assign values to FirstName, LastName, Hometown and Website. Put this values to the ParseUser Object created using the put() method. This method takes two parameters, the key (that will be the name of the field in the class dashboard) and the value (the value that will be stored in this field).

Now you must remember that you can't use the put method for the Email, Username and Password, because this method creates the field in that class. This fields are already there.

I create final static strings to store the keys

                ```ParseUser newUser = new ParseUser();
                newUser.put(ParseConstants.KEY_NAME, name);
                newUser.put(ParseConstants.KEY_LASTNAME, lastName);
                newUser.setUsername(username);
                newUser.setPassword(password);
                newUser.setEmail(email);
                newUser.put(ParseConstants.KEY_WEBSITE, webSite);```

I hope that help you!

Thanks!

I am also in the same boat. If anyone has any guidance please throw something up. I was able to successfully add new fields to parse but that was about as far as I got.
