List all files on dropbox using API v2

Question

I would like to list all files on dropbox using API v2.

Some example with java would be really nice.

Currently I'm doing the following:

public String syncFiles(DbxClientV2 client) throws ListFolderErrorException, DbxException {

ListFolderBuilder listFolderBuilder = client.files().listFolderBuilder("");
	ListFolderResult result = listFolderBuilder.withRecursive(true).start();

Logger log = Logger.getLogger("thread");
	log.setLevel(Level.INFO);

while (true) {

if (result != null) {
			for ( Metadata entry : result.getEntries()) {
				if (entry instanceof FileMetadata){
					log.info("Added file: "+entry.getPathLower());
				}
			}

if (!result.getHasMore()) {
				log.info("GET LATEST CURSOR");
				return result.getCursor();
			}

try {
				result = client.files().listFolderContinue(result.getCursor());
			} catch (DbxException e) {
				log.info ("Couldn't get listFolderContinue");
			}
		}
	}
}

This is working but I don't know if it's the best way to list all files on dropbox.

Calling listFolder with "" to identify root, with recursive=true, and calling back to listFolderContinue as necessary like this is the correct way to list all of the files.
