• Added a custom 'pd.xml' file in the 'layout' folder and some code into Confgs.java ('showPD()' and 'hidePD()' methods), which are used to replace the ProgressDialog code in the java files (that's because ProgressDialog is deprecated by API 26 | Android O)
So I've replaced all the:
pd.dismiss();
pd.setMessagge(...);
pd.show();
with the new lines of code to show and hide the custom ProgressDialog, which start with:
Configs.showPD(...);
Configs.hidePD();

Apr 12th 2017 • Initial release, Android Studio 2.3.1 project, Parse SDK backend hosted on back4app.com
Wally is a Universal app template for wallpapers where users can save them into their photo gallery and then set them as wallpapers to their devices, they can also submit new wallpapers to the admin of the app for approval. You, as the Admin of the app, will just have to switch a isPending variable into False in your own Parse Dashboard or Adminca.com CMS panel to make the new wallpapers visible in the app, it’s super easy!
Since its backend is by Parse Server, you don’t have to buy any domain/hosting, there are NO php files to upload to a web server so you’ll save some money for server side.
Wally is a native Android Studio project, Universal, Parse SDK hosted on back4app, easy to customize, User Guide and PSD files included in the package.
About Parse SDK and back4app

Can I host Parse Server on my own server?
Yes, although I don’t provide support for the setup process, you can read the official Guide here: http://parseplatform.org
What about free support for this template?
I can offer free support for bugs encountered in the original code.
Instead, if you’ve edited the code and messed something up with it, I may apply some fee to fix it either via TeamViewer or by checking your app project files directly on my computer.

Should I use the latest version of Android Studio to edit this template?
Yes, I always update my apps to the latest version of the IDE and you also should make sure you’ve updated the Android Tools to their latest version of the Android SDK manager.
