Parse SDK for Android

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, blog and getting started.

Getting Started

Installation

Option 1: Gradle

Add dependency to the application level build.gradle file.
```
dependencies {
  implementation 'com.parse:parse-android:1.16.7'
}
```
Snapshots of the development version are available in jFrog's snapshots repository.
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. 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:

<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:

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:

<application
  android:name=".App"
  ...>
  ...
</application>
