Question

GOOD DAY Everyone!

}

@Override

}

there are no errors on Console.

THANK YOU!

Answer 1

Your exception is thrown here:

ParseUser currentUser = ParseUser.getCurrentUser();

The method getCurrentUser() of the ParseUser class is attempting to do all this (read from bottom to top):

at com.parse.Parse.getParseDir(Parse.java:313) <---- THIS THROWS NPE
at com.parse.ParseCorePlugins.getCurrentUserController(ParseCorePlugins.java:124)
at com.parse.ParseUser.getCurrentUserController(ParseUser.java:56)
at com.parse.ParseUser.getCurrentUser(ParseUser.java:892)
at com.parse.ParseUser.getCurrentUser(ParseUser.java:879)

Which seems to indicate that either your ParseUser class needs additional information before it can parse the user or that it requires a permission that it doesn't have.

In any case, without access to ParseUser class' source code, it's impossible to tell.
