Overview of parse.com code?

[drmikecrowe]

Hi Don,

This will be great!  I was about to integrate all these components, and found your project.  Very nice platform.

Had a question about the Parse.com, which is the only this I do not need.  Can you briefly describe where Parse.com fits into the project (I'm just getting my feet wet with Android)?  I wanted to try and understand it a bit better so I could remove that.

The parse.com code is simply in place so that we have a REAL API to connect to demonstrate how the HTTP components, image downloading, etc work. You can remove the Parse.com stuff. Its only there as an example.

Doh. Wrong thread. Never mind the issue submission. Thats for another thread.

Donn,

I was more asking which sections of code had those features.  Is it one/two files?

The constants and the bootstrap service both have references to where the connection takes place. Examples: 

Setting the API Key: https://github.com/donnfelker/android-bootstrap/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/donnfelker/android/bootstrap/core/BootstrapService.java#L144

Getting the Users from the API: https://github.com/donnfelker/android-bootstrap/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/donnfelker/android/bootstrap/core/BootstrapService.java#L186

Getting the news: https://github.com/donnfelker/android-bootstrap/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/donnfelker/android/bootstrap/core/BootstrapService.java#L204

Base URL in the constants: https://github.com/donnfelker/android-bootstrap/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/donnfelker/android/bootstrap/core/Constants.java#L46

Long story short, comment out the PARSE url and PARSE api key constants, recompile and you'll see everywhere those values are referenced.

Hey Don, 

Great project! Could you explain how you created the schema on Parse.com? I'd like to try switching the credentials over to my own Parse.com account and API key so I can start to play with modifying features but I need a schema to start with on the back end. 

I just signed up with Parse.com so I'm not that familiar with how to set up the classes, objects, relationships, etc.

Thanks!

John, 

I just performed a data extract from Parse. Here's the dump:
