A library that gives you access to the powerful Parse cloud platform from your Android app.
For more information about Parse and its features, see [the website][parseplatform.org], [blog][blog] and [getting started][guide].

## Getting Started
### Installation
- **Option 1:** Gradle

  Add dependency to the application level `build.gradle` file.

  ```groovy
  dependencies {
    implementation 'com.parse:parse-android:1.16.7'
  }
  ```

  Snapshots of the development version are available in [jFrog's `snapshots` repository][snap].

- **Option 2:** Compiling for yourself into AAR file

  If you want to manually compile the SDK, begin by cloning the repository locally or retrieving the source code for a particular [release][releases]. Open the project in Android Studio and run the following commands in the Terminal of Android Studio:
  
  ```
  ./gradlew clean build
  ```
  Output file can be found in `Parse/build/outputs/` with extension .aar
  
  You can link to your project to your AAR file as you please.
    
 ### Setup
- **Option 1:** Setup in the Manifest

  You may define `com.parse.SERVER_URL` and `com.parse.APPLICATION_ID` meta-data in your `AndroidManifest.xml`:

  ```xml
  <application ...>
    <meta-data
      android:name="com.parse.SERVER_URL"
      android:value="@string/parse_server_url" />
    <meta-data
      android:name="com.parse.APPLICATION_ID"
      android:value="@string/parse_app_id" />
    ...
  </application>
  ```
  
- **Option 2:** Setup in the Application
  
  Initialize Parse in a custom class that extends `Application`:
  
  ```java
  import com.parse.Parse;
  import android.app.Application;

  public class App extends Application {
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
      super.onCreate();
      Parse.initialize(new Parse.Configuration.Builder(this)
        .applicationId("YOUR_APP_ID")
        .server("http://localhost:1337/parse/")
        .build()
      );
    }
  }
  ```
  
 For either option, the custom `Application` class must be registered in `AndroidManifest.xml`:
 
 ```xml
 <application
   android:name=".App"
   ...>
   ...
 </application>
 ```

## Usage
Everything can done through the supplied gradle wrapper:

### Run the Tests
```
./gradlew clean testDebug
```
Results can be found in `Parse/build/reports/`

### Get Code Coverage Reports
```
./gradlew clean jacocoTestReport
```
Results can be found in `Parse/build/reports/`
