how to display files in listview android??

Ayzaz M.

I am new to android development and this is my first school project. I have followed the procedure of authenticating my app

https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/start/android

I want to display my dropbox files as a listview in a fragment and also allow user to download the file if it is selected.

 

any useful tutorial or some help will be appreciated.

It looks like you already found the Android Core SDK, which should suit your needs here. (Alternatively, you could use the new Java SDK for Dropbox API v2.)

Specifically, the metadata method lets you get a listing of files and folders for any particular path, which you can then display in a list view:

https://www.dropboxstatic.com/static/developers/dropbox-android-sdk-1.6.3-docs/com/dropbox/client2/DropboxAPI.html#metadata(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String,%20boolean,%20java.lang.String)

That's covered in this section of the tutorial:

You can use getFile to download file contents:
