At the moment I am having a hard time placing the marker on the map . I want to do an app where I track the path I took while walking. Can you help me with a link to accomplish this and how do I place the marker in the map given the previous code?.
i followed the parse guide in at https://www.back4app.com/docs/android/parse-geopoint but this doesnt seem to work.
this is what I have done so far...
