Image file is not saved in parse. - Ribbit App

In the RecipientsActivity class, we have the method

protected ParseObject createMessage() { ParseObject message = new ParseObject(ParseConstants.CLASS_MESSAGES); message.put(ParseConstants.KEY_SENDER_ID, ParseUser.getCurrentUser().getObjectId()); message.put(ParseConstants.KEY_SENDER_NAME, ParseUser.getCurrentUser().getUsername()); message.put(ParseConstants.KEY_RECIPIENT_IDS, getRecipientIds()); message.put(ParseConstants.KEY_FILE_TYPE, mFileType);

    byte[] fileBytes = FileHelper.getByteArrayFromFile(this, mMediaUri);

    if (fileBytes == null) {
        return null;
    } else {
        if (mFileType.equals(ParseConstants.TYPE_IMAGE)) {
            fileBytes = FileHelper.reduceImageForUpload(fileBytes);
        }

        String fileName = FileHelper.getFileName(this, mMediaUri, mFileType);
        ParseFile file = new ParseFile(fileName, fileBytes);
        message.put(ParseConstants.KEY_FILE, file);

        return message;
    }
}

I can only send the video file, which take a while though. But when I try to send the image file, it does not work at all. I do not see any error message in the logcat either.

Can anyone help, please?
