Listing doesn't get deeper from the root folder

balipa

I'm trying to get a list of all files in the dropbox by using listFolder and listFolderContinue.  However I only get the list of files/folders in the root, but it doesn't go deeper.

 

This is my code:

 

DbxRequestConfig config = new DbxRequestConfig("dropbox/java-tutorial", "en_US");
DbxClientV2 client = new DbxClientV2(config, ACCESS_TOKEN);
    ListFolderResult result = client.files().listFolder("");
    while (true) {
for (Metadata metadata : result.getEntries()) {
            System.out.println(metadata.getPathLower());
        }
if (!result.getHasMore()) {
break;
        }
        result = client.files().listFolderContinue(result.getCursor());
    }
} catch (DbxException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

What I'm doing wrong?

 

Thank you for helping me!!

If you want nested entries, you'll need to use listFolderBuilder to get a ListFolderBuilder on which you can use withRecursive and pass in true to tell Dropbox that you want a recursive listing result, i.e., to return nested items. You can call ListFolderBuilder.start to then start the call.
