Hi

Could someone point me in the right direction?

I want to allow users to post comments from an andriod app, and see comments others have posted....like a "guestbook"?

I assume I add a input area, and a button to submit a comment and a separate text box to display comments from others - is this correct?

:)

Correct, except that you would use a grid and a list to post comments from others. What you could do is use Parse as your backend to store/post comments and then display other comments in the response upon a successful post.

This tutorial should give you some help:

Hi Alex - can you post a new link to this tutorial? I see now the link directs to the docs page, but I'm not sure where to find the actual tutorial, or if it was migrated over? Thanks!

Hi Illya,

Sorry to bother again. I'm trying to follow along with this documentation and the process is going well until I get to this part:

  1. We are now ready to provide request parameters required for authentication, open Request panel.

  2. Create two request parameters by entering the name and clicking Add button:
    X-Parse-Application-Id
    X-Parse-REST-API-Key

  3. Go back to parse.com, open the app that we created and open the Dashboard tab. From this screen, copy and then paste the values for the two request parameters we just created.

    For #7 I can't find anything that I would copy from the Parse Dashboard tab and then past back as a value in appery. Might it be that Parse has updated and this information has been migrated from the Dashboard to a different section? I see that the screenshots provided on this tutorial show an "Overview" tab on Parse that seems to no longer be available.

Hello!

Looks like something was changed on parse.com. Now necessary parameters are accessible on address https://www.parse.com/apps/app_Name/e...
where app_Name - your app name.
