Answer 1

In your app gradle add below code

dependencies {
    compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.+'
    compile 'com.parse:parse-android:1.+'
}

In AndroidManifest.xml file add below permission

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

In your Application class inside onCreate() method add below code

Parse.initialize(this, "application_id", "client_key");
ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation().saveInBackground();

then run. Hope this works, for more info https://parse.com/apps/quickstart#parse_data/mobile/android/native/existing

1) I unzip the folder into the libs folder:

YourProject/app/libs/Parse-1.9.2/ <<< here all the jar files.

2) and then in the dependencies section from your build.gradle, I set:

dependencies { 
    ...
    // Parse 1.9.2
    compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.+'
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs/Parse-1.9.2', include: 'Parse-*.jar')
    ...
}

I set the specific folder where the jars are contained dir: 'libs/Parse-1.9.2'

Hope it helps!
