I am new at android as well as parse.com. I need a way in which a user can click a button to take a photo or another button to choose a photo from the gallery. Then store the image in my parse.com database so that I can manipulate it with other events in the system. So far I am able to have the user update his status and save to my parse database but I do not know how to manipulate images and ImageViews. Here is my code so far:
public class UpdateActivity extends Activity {
protected EditText mUpdateStatus;
protected Button mUpdateStatusButton;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_update);
//initialization of variables
mUpdateStatus=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.updateStatusUpdate);
mUpdateStatusButton=(Button)findViewById(R.id.updateButtonUpdate);
//code update button click event
mUpdateStatusButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//Get current user
ParseUser currentUser=ParseUser.getCurrentUser();//Identifies current user
String currentUserUsername=currentUser.getUsername();//stores username in variable
//Create new variable to store strings
String newStatus=mUpdateStatus.getText().toString();
//Event for an empty status
if (newStatus.isEmpty())
{AlertDialog.Builder builder=new AlertDialog.Builder(UpdateActivity.this);
builder.setMessage("STATUS SHOULD NOT BE EMPTY.");
builder.setTitle("OOPS!");
builder.setPositiveButton("OK",new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
AlertDialog dialog=builder.create();
dialog.show();}
else{
//Save the status in Parse.com
ParseObject statusObject = new ParseObject("Status");//Create a new parse class
statusObject.put("newStatus",newStatus);//Creates a new attribute and adds value from newStatus
statusObject.put("User",currentUserUsername);//Stores username in new parse class
//Save data and initiate callback method
statusObject.saveInBackground(new SaveCallback() {
@Override
public void done(ParseException e) {
if(e==null)
{//Event for a Successful storage
Toast.makeText(UpdateActivity.this,getString(R.string.succssfulUpdate),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
//Take user back to profile
Intent main = new Intent(UpdateActivity.this, ProfileActivity.class);
UpdateActivity.this.startActivity(main);
}
else
{//Event for an Unsuccessful storage
AlertDialog.Builder builder=new AlertDialog.Builder(UpdateActivity.this);
builder.setMessage(e.getMessage());
builder.setTitle("SORRY!");
builder.setPositiveButton("OK",new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
AlertDialog dialog=builder.create();
dialog.show();
}
}
});}
}
});
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_update, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
//noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
switch(id) {
case R.id.logoutUpdateMenu:
{//logout the user
ParseUser.logOut();
//Take user back to login
Intent intent = new Intent(UpdateActivity.this, LoginActivity.class);
UpdateActivity.this.startActivity(intent);
UpdateActivity.this.finish();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), getString(R.string.logout_text), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;}
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
