Android: Using the Parse SDK to save data in the cloud

Learn how to add a powerful cloud database, notification services and analytics tracking to your Android application.

Building stand alone applications that only function and save their data on the device that they are installed on is becoming obsolete and not feasible. With the increased use of mobile devices, it is common for applications to offer ways to backup, sync and share data in the cloud.

A type of backend is usually needed where data can be saved and manipulated but this requires time, resources and skills to make it work. Fortunately, there are several platforms like Parse that provide a backend that we as developers can integrate with our applications.

This course will introduce the popular Parse SDK and show you how to integrate it with your Android applications in order to save application data in the cloud.
