Saving and retreving photos and videos in Parse (Android)

Question

I was looking at the Parse Android docs and saw that to save photos and videos, you have to initialize a new ParseFile with a name and a byte[] of data and save

Answer 1

From Uri to get byte[] I do the following things,

 ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File(yourUri));

byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int n;
while (-1 != (n = fis.read(buf)))
    baos.write(buf, 0, n);

byte[] videoBytes = baos.toByteArray(); //this is the video in bytes.
