Parse.com File saving Android not working

Question

I modeled my code after their Mealspotting tutorial but for some reason, I can't see the file saved in the Data Browser. Why is that? Here is my code:

private void saveScaledPhoto(byte[] data) {

        // Resize photo from camera byte array
        Bitmap snypImage = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);
        Bitmap snypImageScaled = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(snypImage, 200, 200
                * snypImage.getHeight() / snypImage.getWidth(), false);

        // Override Android default landscape orientation and save portrait
        Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
        matrix.postRotate(90);
        Bitmap rotatedScaledMealImage = Bitmap.createBitmap(snypImageScaled, 0,
                0, snypImageScaled.getWidth(), snypImageScaled.getHeight(),
                matrix, true);

        ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        rotatedScaledMealImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bos);

        byte[] scaledData = bos.toByteArray();

        // Save the scaled image to Parse
        photoFile = new ParseFile("snyp.jpg", scaledData);
        photoFile.saveInBackground(new SaveCallback() {

            public void done(ParseException e) {
                if (e == null) {
                    ParseUser.getCurrentUser().put("photo",photoFile);
                    Log.d("save status",photoFile.getName() + " is saved!");
                } else {

                    Toast.makeText(getActivity(),
                            "Error saving: " + e.getMessage(),
                            Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }
            }
        });
    }

Here's a huge example on saving images to Parse. stackoverflow.com/a/23859786/294884 The thing I'm struggling with the getting the damned bitmap from the camera onActivityResult !! — Fattie

You are just forgetting to save your User object: ParseUser.getCurrentUser().saveEventually();

why is it saveEventually() and not saveInBackground()?

shreyashirday Over a year ago

also, can I still retrieve the files from the User without creating a Photo class?

Just because it's simpler. saveEventually will save your photo, eventually (as soon as it can) :)

Thanks, can you answer my second question too?

Yes, you can. In this case you'll need to create a field for the photo on the user class and associate it to the user object and save it, the same way as the "Photo" class. Are you saving a profile picture?
