How to update multiple users from an administrator user in parse.com for android app

Question

I am building an app there are a few users that are administrators. from these users I want them to be able to update others users info. below is what i came up with so far , but I am having trouble passing the users info. can some one help?

where I am having most trouble is selecting the user to be updated. the previous activity was a listview that pases the object string. I get them to correctly show on the necessary edittext but when I click the save button it does not update the user field.

Remember I do not want to update currentUser, I want to update a different user

            }
        });

    }
}

UPDATE: I reformulated the code but I need help in the area.

public void addListenerOnButton() {
    mUpdateUserFum.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            ParseQuery<ParseUser> query = ParseUser.getQuery();
            //ParseQuery<ParseObject> query = ParseQuery.getQuery("_User");
            query.whereEqualTo("objectId", objectId);
            // Retrieve the object by id
            query.findInBackground(new FindCallback<ParseUser>() {
                public void done(List<ParseUser> objects, ParseException e) {
                    if (e == null) {
                        // Now let's update it with some new data. In this case, only cheatMode and score
                        // will get sent to the Parse Cloud. playerName hasn't changed.
                        Toast.makeText(FullUserInfoActivity.this, objectId, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                    } else {

                        //sorry there was a problem
                        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(FullUserInfoActivity.this);
                        builder.setMessage(e.getMessage());
                        builder.setTitle(R.string.error_login_title);
                        builder.setPositiveButton(R.string.error_confirmation, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                            @Override
                            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                                //close the dialog
                                dialog.dismiss();
                            }
                        });
                        AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
                        dialog.show();


                    }
                }
            });

        }
    });

}

@ariefbayu: how do I apply this concept to my parseUser object. I know how to assign to a normal object, but for what I understand Users are Special objects. I know parse.com recommends

    ParseQuery<ParseUser> query = ParseUser.getQuery();
query.whereEqualTo("gender", "female");
query.findInBackground(new FindCallback<ParseUser>() {
  public void done(List<ParseUser> objects, ParseException e) {
    if (e == null) {
        // The query was successful.
    } else {
        // Something went wrong.
    }
  }
});

but I dont understand how to choose the a different user and assign the new values.

There a better way when dealing with one row result (or expected to only have one row data), that is by using ParseQuery.getFirstInBackground . Here is an example of how I did it:

ParseQuery<ChatMessage> query = ParseQuery.getQuery(ChatMessage.class);
query.whereEqualTo("messageId", msgId);
query.getFirstInBackground(new GetCallback<ChatMessage>() {

    @Override
    public void done(ChatMessage chatMessage, ParseException e) {
        if(e == null){
            chatMessage.setHasBeenDelivered(true);
            chatMessage.saveInBackground();
        } else{
            Log.e("AppLog", e.getMessage());
        }
    }
});
