This is doing my head in. I got this working in iOS in about 10 mins. Clearly I'm missing something. I'm simply trying to pull data out of parse.com into a textfield. I have found lots of examples but none explaining why it's not working correctly. Below is the code pulled from parse.com site and jiggyed with. Incidentally it's wigging out on totemList.getString particularly the "getString" part.
ParseQuery<ParseObject> query = ParseQuery.getQuery("Birds");
query.whereEqualTo("totemName", "Pigeon");
query.findInBackground(new FindCallback<ParseObject>() {
public void done(List<ParseObject> totemList, ParseException e) {
if (e == null) {
Log.d("score", "Retrieved " + totemList.size() + " scores");
String totemDesc = totemList.getString("totemDesc");
//Get the Totems Description
TotemDescription = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.animalDesc);
TotemDescription.setText(totemDesc);
} else {
Log.d("score", "Error: " + e.getMessage());
// something went wrong
TotemDescription = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.animalDesc);
TotemDescription.setText("not bob");
}
}
});
List<> does not have a getString() method.
Perhaps what you wanted to do was to iterate over your list of ParseObject get all the descriptions:
Something like that. Then set the resulting string as text of your text field
If you have more than one ParseObject in your List<> your text will be something like:
