Auth redirect url
Why does the redirect url after the Authorization process look like "#access_token=IuAX.........". The # at the start prevents my server code from getting the url parameters. Using .request().query...
- That's the OAuth 2 "token" flow, where the access token is returned on the redirect URI fragment. That's meant more for client-side apps. For server-side apps, you should use the "code" flow. You can find more information here:

Dropbox Staffschrettinger in your startOAuth2Authentication function are you providing the correct app key taken from your App Console? The example you provided with "55556756765765756" does not seem to be a valid app key format.
Hello,
thanks for your answer.
I'm using the correct app-key. DropBox recommends the real app-key not to public.
After
Auth.startOAuth2Authentication(this, "4534hkzhxc8hj" - is not the real app-key)
the redirect Url
db-4534erter45646://1/connect?oauth_token=oauth2:&oauth_token_secret=sl.BE4JfDiYMLV2GSkHe-f-TkpxD1-n0EcIIqBbPhQGH5ACISVsMB_AUznLC1weqvQWqsgQEAMgiWQmtXmbGZQ4Wfg2QvbBl1qVImRkJECSWV8sbxharzhk50b9jUfbOsPF_VseA9wgj45R&uid=422345066&state=oauth2%3Ae803b8143706e7ecd2603b2213e1c5a7&expires_in=14400
I tried to generate an Access Token with
private void getAccessToken() {
String accessToken = Auth.getOAuth2Token();
if (accessToken != null) {
SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences(App_User.userName, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
prefs.edit().putString("access-token", accessToken).apply();}
}
The return is always null, because the redirect URL (s. above) to the app from DropBox is not valid.
