User Management
At the core of many apps, there is a notion of user account management that lets users access their information in a secure manner. A specialized user class called ParseUser
is available to automatically handles these kind of functionalities.
ParseUser
is a subclass of the ParseObject
, and has all the same features. All the methods that are on ParseObject
also exist in ParseUser
. The difference is that ParseUser
has some special additions specific to user accounts.
Signing Up
import com.parse.ParseException;
import com.parse.ParseUser;
import com.parse.SignUpCallback;
public void signUpUser(String username, String password, String email)
{
ParseUser user = new ParseUser();
user.setUsername(username);
user.setPassword(password);
user.setEmail(email);
// other fields can be set just like with ParseObject
user.put("phone", "650-253-0000");
user.signUpInBackground(new SignUpCallback()
{
public void done(ParseException e)
{
if (e == null)
{
// Hooray! Let them use the app now.
}
else
{
// Sign up didn't succeed. Look at the ParseException
// to figure out what went wrong
}
}
});
}
Logging In
import com.parse.LogInCallback;
import com.parse.ParseException;
import com.parse.ParseUser;
public void logInUser(String username, String password)
{
ParseUser.logInInBackground(username, password, new LogInCallback()
{
public void done(ParseUser user, ParseException e)
{
if (user != null)
{
// Hooray! The user is logged in.
}
else
{
// Signup failed. Look at the ParseException to see what happened.
}
}
});
}
Get current User
import com.parse.ParseUser;
public void getUser()
{
ParseUser currentUser = ParseUser.getCurrentUser();
if (currentUser != null)
{
// do stuff with the user
}
else
{
// show the signup or login screen
}
}
