The Parse Android SDK has the following Android API andGradle Plugin compatibility.

Add the linemaven { url 'https://www.jitpack.io' } to yoursettings.gradle file, inside therepositories property, for example:

dependencyResolutionManagement {    repositories {        maven { url'https://www.jitpack.io' }    }}

Older versions of Android studio require different steps. See the following list of Android Studio versions for alternative instructions. You can find the version of your Android Studio installation by clicking onHelp > About in the top menu.

Then, add the library to your (module:app)build.gradle file, replacinglatest.version.here with the version of the Parse Android SDK you would like to use. We commend always updating your app to use thelatest release version.

Initialize Parse in a custom class that extendsApplication:

importcom.parse.Parse;importandroid.app.Application;publicclassAppextendsApplication {@OverridepublicvoidonCreate() {super.onCreate();Parse.initialize(newParse.Configuration.Builder(this)        .applicationId("YOUR_APP_ID")// if desired        .clientKey("YOUR_CLIENT_KEY")        .server("https://your-server-address/parse/")        .build()      );    }}

The customApplication class must be registered inAndroidManifest.xml:

<applicationandroid:name=".App"    ...>    ...</application>

Note that if you are testing with a server usinghttp, you will need to addandroid:usesCleartextTraffic="true" to your above<application> definition, but you should only do this while testing and should usehttps for your final product.

See theguide for the rest of the SDK usage.
