Hi,

This page can be useful for you https://backendless.com/documentation/users/android/users_get_current_user.htm.
According to this, after user is logged in you can fetch user by calling Backendless.UserService.CurrentUser().

Thanks for your reply.
But how can I fetch the designation of the current user?

4

BackendlessUser user = Backendless.UserService.CurrentUser();
String designation = (String) user.getProperty( “designation” );

5

its generating an error
“Cannot cast from Object to String”

6

What is the type of designation property in Users table?

7

its string type

8

i m really sorry…
its boolean type.

9

So you can just make following:
String designation = user.getProperty( “designation” ).toString();

10

i m really sorry…
its boolean type.

11

If designation is boolean just cast it to boolean
