I am new at android as well as parse.com. I need a way in which a user can click a button to take a photo or another button to choose a photo from the gallery. Then store the image in my parse.com database so that I can manipulate it with other events in the system. So far I am able to have the user update his status and save to my parse database but I do not know how to manipulate images and ImageViews. Here is my code so far:

```
public class UpdateActivity extends Activity {

    protected EditText mUpdateStatus;
    protected Button mUpdateStatusButton;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_update);

        //initialization of variables
        mUpdateStatus=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.updateStatusUpdate);
        mUpdateStatusButton=(Button)findViewById(R.id.updateButtonUpdate);

        //code update button click event
        mUpdateStatusButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                //Get current user
                ParseUser currentUser=ParseUser.getCurrentUser();//Identifies current user
                String currentUserUsername=currentUser.getUsername();//stores username in variable

                //Create new variable to store strings
                String newStatus=mUpdateStatus.getText().toString();

                //Event for an empty status
                if (newStatus.isEmpty())
                        {AlertDialog.Builder builder=new AlertDialog.Builder(UpdateActivity.this);
                        builder.setMessage("STATUS SHOULD NOT BE EMPTY.");
                        builder.setTitle("OOPS!");
                        builder.setPositiveButton("OK",new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                            @Override
                            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                                dialog.dismiss();
                            }
                        });
                        AlertDialog dialog=builder.create();
                        dialog.show();}
                else{
                //Save the status in Parse.com
                ParseObject statusObject = new ParseObject("Status");//Create a new parse class
                statusObject.put("newStatus",newStatus);//Creates a new attribute and adds value from newStatus
                statusObject.put("User",currentUserUsername);//Stores username in new parse class

                //Save data and initiate callback method
                statusObject.saveInBackground(new SaveCallback() {
                    @Override
                    public void done(ParseException e) {
                        if(e==null)
                            {//Event for a Successful storage
                                Toast.makeText(UpdateActivity.this,getString(R.string.succssfulUpdate),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                                //Take user back to profile
                                Intent main = new Intent(UpdateActivity.this, ProfileActivity.class);
                                UpdateActivity.this.startActivity(main);

                            }
                        else
                            {//Event for an Unsuccessful storage
                                AlertDialog.Builder builder=new AlertDialog.Builder(UpdateActivity.this);
                                builder.setMessage(e.getMessage());
                                builder.setTitle("SORRY!");
                                builder.setPositiveButton("OK",new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                                    @Override
                                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                                        dialog.dismiss();
                                    }
                                });
                                AlertDialog dialog=builder.create();
                                dialog.show();
                            }
                    }
                });}

            }
        });

    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_update, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();

        //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
        switch(id) {
            case R.id.logoutUpdateMenu:
            {//logout the user
