Android app "Dropbox" want added downloaded files through Android Dropbox API
I use Android API v2 for downloading folder files:
***
return mDbxClient.files().listFolder(params[0]);
***
*** OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(file); mDbxClient.files().downlo...
- When you use that download method, the file data will be downloaded to whatever stream you supply. In this case, it's your "outputStream" variable, which is a "FileOutputStream" for "file". That being the case, to avoid this I recommend sending the file directly to the desired location, instead of using the Downloads folder as temporary storage.

Thanks!
My full code have hint for solutions:
File path = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS); File file = new File(path, metadata.getName()); // Make sure the Downloads directory exists. if (!path.exists()) { if (!path.mkdirs()) { mException = new RuntimeException("Unable to create directory: " + path); } } else if (!path.isDirectory()) { mException = new IllegalStateException("Download path is not a directory: " + path); return null; } OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(file); mDbxClient.files().download(metadata.getPathLower(), metadata.getRev()).download(outputStream);I use example from GIT and miss file initiation, when find solving for problem.
Big thanks! You are awesome!
