Pagination / Lazy loading in fetching metadata of files

Vartika A.

I want to implement pagination i.e. want to fetch limited files' metadata at a time and on next click the further files. I am not able to find any suitable method in Core Java API for dropbox regarding the same. So can anyone please suggest which method should I use in order to get paginated results ?

 

Thanks in advance.

I think that getDelta is roughly what you want: http://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v1.8.x/com/dropbox/core/DbxClient.html#getDelta(java.lang.String). Note that this method is recursive.

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http#documentation-files-list_folder in API v2 is probably a bit better, since you can do the non-recursive version as well, but a Java SDK for API v2 hasn't been released yet.
