Can I continue use Parse SDK after migrating Parse to my own hosting?

Hello,

As the title said, I wonder if I can continue use Parse SDK.
If yes, what should I do to point my apps to new hosting?

Yeah +1. Would like to see method Parse.server() such as in JS library

Yeah you can use it with your own Parse Server hosting, just create the initialization like this:

Parse.Configuration configuration = new Parse.Configuration.Builder(this)
                .applicationId("Your Application ID")
                .clientKey("Your Client Key")
                .server("Your Server Url")
                .build();
Parse.initialize(configuration);

Note that your server url should end in / like http://localhost:1337/parse/ and you should have defined an client key inside your server file.

Yes, this works. But I have another issue when migrating my existing Parse backend to my own backend. I have photos on Parse, but after migrating to my own backend, the photo field is changed to url (string). I am not sure if my photos were moved to my backend or not. Any ideas?

There is a long discussion about the ParseFile , at this moment there is no migration for the files hosted on Parse and that's why you have an URL.

Thanks for stepping in @iulianvarzaru! I'll be closing this as resolved.
