Can't find user by findByIdentity

User Service

I’m getting this message:

Hi Omar,

What method do you invoke on the client side when you get this message?

Backendless.UserService.findByIdentity("123456", new AsyncCallback<BackendlessUser>() {
                        
                        @Override
                        public void handleResponse(BackendlessUser arg0) {
                            p=arg0.getEmail();
                            
                        }
                        
                        @Override
                        public void handleFault(BackendlessFault arg0) {
                            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                            p=arg0.getMessage();
                        }
                    });

This is my code, 123456 is the identity of the user (not the objectId) and the message I get is as i mentioned before.

Is there another method that work and I can use? Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

Hi Omar,

Please see the sample code below which accomplishes what you want. The “findByIdentity” method will be removed from the SDK.

package com.backendless.examples.userservice.demo;


import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Toast;
import com.backendless.Backendless;
import com.backendless.BackendlessCollection;
import com.backendless.BackendlessUser;
import com.backendless.async.callback.AsyncCallback;
import com.backendless.exceptions.BackendlessFault;
import com.backendless.persistence.BackendlessDataQuery;




public class MainActivity extends Activity
{
  public void onCreate( Bundle savedInstanceState )
  {
    super.onCreate( savedInstanceState );


    Backendless.initApp( this, Defaults.APPLICATION_ID, Defaults.SECRET_KEY, Defaults.VERSION );


    BackendlessDataQuery dataQuery = new BackendlessDataQuery();
    dataQuery.setWhereClause( "email = 'test@test.com'" ); //here "email" is the identity field name, and test@test.com is the identity value


    Backendless.Data.of( BackendlessUser.class ).find( dataQuery, new AsyncCallback<BackendlessCollection<BackendlessUser>>()
    {
      @Override
      public void handleResponse( BackendlessCollection<BackendlessUser> collection )
      {
        if(collection.getCurrentPage().isEmpty())
        {
          System.out.println("User with given identity not found");
        }
        else
        {
          BackendlessUser backendlessUser = collection.getCurrentPage().get( 0 );
          Toast.makeText( getBaseContext(), "Found: " + backendlessUser.getEmail(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG ).show();
          //do smth with user
        }
      }


      @Override
      public void handleFault( BackendlessFault backendlessFault )
      {
        Toast.makeText( getBaseContext(), backendlessFault.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show();
      }
    } );
  }
}
