Parse-server: detect online and Offline Status of user and notifiy other users in Chat Application

[mr3h4n]

detect online and Offline Status of user and notify other users whenever status of user changes.
I am developing Chat Application for Android. i couldn't understand how to implement this feature.
i will be really thankful for any kind of favor. I am using LiveQuery for push notifications.

This is not an issue of parse-server, but I have implemented the same idea in my case.

Add a column in _User class of type boolean called "isOnline".
Users set them selve online/offline and LiveQuery detects changes.
Additional you can add a column "lastSeen" of type date in _User class, to
check the last activity. If users offline than show the "lastSeen" value.

Hope that helps.
