Java V2 SDK - get metadata

Dennis T.6

Using Java SDK v2, I need to get metadata for a file or all files in a directory. Specifically the client modified timestamp.

I cannot find this anywhere in the V2 docs, specifically the DbxFiles.Metadata class only contains name, pathLower and parentSharedFolderId.

How is this done?

You can downcast to http://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v2.0.x/com/dropbox/core/v2/DbxFiles.FileMetadata.html, which has a clientModified field. (Of course this only works if the thing you got metadata for is in fact a file. A folder will return DbxFiles.FolderMetadata instead, and deleted items will return DbxFiles.DeletedMetadata.)
