Android Chooser API Documentation

Evaluating Chooser for Android.  

 

Was surprised when I ran the app that installing the DropBox app on the hosting platform was a requirement. Suggest making this clear in the "Using Chooser" guide.

 

On the Dropbox developer's site I'm not finding the API documentation for the Android Choose SDK.   Is there an API reference or just sample code. I find myself now searching for answers like "Can I restrict choosing files by mime types?", "What are all the ResultTypes beyond PREVIEW_LINK?"

 

Not looking for these answers in this post just a pointer to a API guide that documents DbxChooser, similar to the Java SDK docs at https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v2.1.x/.

    Thanks for the post! The Android Chooser integration does require the official Dropbox app, as the Chooser itself is actually part of the official app. I'll send this along to the team as a request to make that clearer.

    Anyway, this is the only information we have posted for the Android Chooser:

    https://www.dropbox.com/developers/chooser#android

    It offers much less functionality than the Java SDK though, so everything you need should be covered there. (There are also document comments in the source included with the download if it's useful however.)
