Can I use parse4cn1 in non cn1 projects?

Question

I've been trying to download the parse4j from Thiagolocatelli but they're missing version 1.5-SNAPSHOT which includes a third parameter for Parse.initialize(), but I can't download version 1.5-SNAPSHOT from github nor from Maven repository, people talk about version 1.5-SNAPSHOT but looking at the Maven repository: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.github.thiagolocatelli/parse4j there is no version 1.5-SNAPSHOT. So is it possible to use parse4cn1 in non cn1 projects like Android Studio projects? Will library work?

Answer 1

It is possible to use parse4cn1 in a regular Java project as documented here. In fact, the parse4cn1 unit test application uses this approach successfully. As already mentioned by Shai, you'll have some dependencies on some CN1-specific functionality but that is available via the CN1 JavaSE port.

For Android, I'll recommend using the native Android Parse SDK directly. The API is slightly different from that of parse4cn1 but in most cases similar. Moreover, the SDK provides more functionality such as a local data store.

Answer 2

No.

The code uses ConnectionRequest and similar Codename One specific classes to implement parse support.
