9 years ago Unfortunately, Parse doesn't have socket communication. But you could use Firebase for chat.
Check out: https://www.firebase.com/docs/android/ https://github.com/firebase/AndroidChat
But it may make sense to start with a simple button that will launch a text message to another user (which is super easy using an Implicit Intent) instead of doing a full chat experience...

In our app, we plans to have a instant messaging function that allow the user who are in one classroom to help people who is looking for a seat here. Is this too complicated for us to achieve this function? Does it have some exist tools that can handle online chat? Or we just change instant messaging into a kind of normal message/email ?
