What should be the extention of video to save to ParseFile on Parse

According to the docs ParseFile requires an extension so to know what type of content it is handling. In my case user captures a video with her mobile device, then from the Uri of the video, I get the byte[] and pass it to ParseFile. What should the extension of my video be? I mean when I do

ParseFile videoFile = new ParseFile("videofilename",videoBytes);
videoFile.saveInBackground();

What should be the extension of videofilename?

Solution

  • You simply specify it however you want:

    ... new ParseFile("nameofvideo.mp4", videoBytes);

    Keep in mind Parse only supports files ≤ 10MB
