Dolphin_2018

Hi all,

I'm looking for a simple DropBox example project that I can just download as a Zip file and then compile in my Android Studio and run on my Nexus 5 (Android) device. I need a simple project that send one Jpg file from my device to my Dropbox.

Can you please give my a link to such example? There are many code examples, But as I said I want a project that can just compile and run right away (I have my App_Key & Secret_Key, I will insert them into the code before compile).

Thanks.

You can clone or download the repo here:

https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java

There are instructions for running the Android sample, included with the repo clone or download at /examples/android, here:

https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/tree/master/examples/android

If you attempt to make any API v1 calls, they will fail with `v1_retired`. The Android sample app only uses API v2, via DbxClientV2:

For Android, we recommend using the official Dropbox API v2 Java SDK:

There's an example Android app here:

https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/tree/master/examples/android

We don't have a simpler example than that for Android, but you can see how it performs an upload here:

Thanks, but it's not clear to me, how do I download and compile/build the example project at your second link? (Android app example) I don't see any download link for the whole project, should I download the files one by one? It doesn't looks so logic.

Another question, as I understand your old API v1 is not supported anymore and I need to use API v2 in my application in order to use the DropBox:

How do I determine if my application use API v1 or API v2?

Where do I see that?

Thanks.
