Parse Query, How to create a query that checks if arrays contain a particular string

I am using Parse.Com's backend service.

I am currently trying the code below:

I've tried a few variations and nothing seems to work. Is this even possible?

`ArrayList cities = new ArrayList<>(1); cities.add(OriginCity); cities.add(EndCity);

ParseQuery mpassthroughcities = ParseQuery.getQuery("Ride"). whereContainsAll("Cities", cities). whereGreaterThanOrEqualTo("Date", mCurrentDate);`

After the following code runs, I use cities I know are contained within "Cities" and I get nada.

Please help, will repay in karma.

I think your problem is the definition of the arrayList missing the type of listItem. this may helps you:

ArrayList<Integer> numbers = new ArrayList<Integer>();
numbers.add(2);
numbers.add(3);
numbers.add(4);
query.whereContainsAll("arrayKey", numbers);
