Answer 1

@Akshat Agarwal, here is a example in JavaScript:

var parseObj = Parse.Object.extend('parseObj');

new Parse.Query(parseObj)
  .include('pointerField')
  .find(function (data) {
    data.get('pointerField').get('fieldName');
  });

Here is the solution to this one:

First you need to create a ParseObject from the type of your table:

ParseObject sale = ParseObject.createParseObject("Sale"); 

Then you need to get the ParseObject from the result:

sale = result.getParseObject(pointer_field);

Now you can pull from sale any field that it has just as you would do it normally, for example:

sale.getString("some_field")

Note: When you are doing your query you must to include the pointer field if you want to be able to extract the data from it after the query will be returned. The result:

query.include("pointer_field")

Hope it helps

For iOS

  PFQuery *parseQuery = [PFQuery queryWithClassName:@"MyClass"];
  [parseQuery whereKey:@"categoryId" equalTo:categoryId];
  [parseQuery includeKey:@"pinter_field"];
  [parseQuery findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock:^(NSArray *objects, NSError *error) {
  //
  }];
