setObjectId is not working

I wonder if is possible to assign an id when an item is created with parse:

ParseObject parseWord = new ParseObject(DataBaseHelper.TABLE_WORD);
            parseWord.setObjectId(idRow);
            parseWord.put(Word.NAME, word.getName());
            parseWord.put(Word.TYPE, word.getType());
            parseWord.put(Word.TRANSLATE, word.getTranslate());
            parseWord.put(Word.EXAMPLE, word.getExample());
            parseWord.put(Word.NOTE, word.getNote());
            parseWord.put(Word.SYNC_AT, today);
            parseWord.saveInBackground();

This code is not working, it doesnt save the item in the server. If I delete the setObjectId(idRow); it works. What am I doing wrong?.

Is there anyway to know when the saveInBackground is done?

Thanks

According to the ParseObject.setObjectID() API doc:

Setter for the object id. In general you do not need to use this. However, in some cases this can be convenient. For example, if you are serializing a ParseObject yourself and wish to recreate it, you can use this to recreate the ParseObject exactly.

Also from the API doc:

An object id is assigned as soon as an object is saved to the server.

A reason, as the quote suggests, you might need to set the object ID is if you, wish to do something like save the fields of a parse object to a file. If you wanted to take the fields from your file and recreate a parse object, THEN you'd need to set it, as that's not done for you if you're not saving it to the server and just using an instance of the object for purposes internal to your application.
