chooser android not working
Hello,
I am trying to use Chooser in my Android App but when the user choose the file, Dropbox app show the error message: "Dropbox error. Try again later" or "Sorry, an error occurred. Please try again later."
The same occours on ChooserExample.
Is it a Dropbox app version (I am on 6.2.4) or my API Key is invalid or another problem?
PS.: When I use the API Key to send a file using HTTP API, works.
Thanks,
Gustavo

This can occur if your app key isn't entered correctly. Can you share your code?
Likewise, the example app doesn't come with an app key set and requires you to enter it as the APP_KEY variable in MainActivity.java. Did you do that and can you check you copied the key in correctly?
Gregory, thank you for your reply.
Yes, I changed the APP_KEY on my Android APP and on example app and I made a double check on token, it's correct.
My code is exactly equal the example app.
I created my token in an "App Folder" type, but the error happens in App Folder too.
static final String APP_KEY = "qE7z4V266tsAAAAAAAAH0ftgo6....._SikuUA8EfoFTE-Y_B7j.....";

Thanks for the sample, Gustavo. The string you've entered as your Dropbox API app key is actually an Dropbox API OAuth 2 access token. These are two different things, and the latter is only used for the Dropbox API, not the Dropbox Chooser.
Your app key is a much shorter string, and you can get it from your app's page on the App Console:
Thank again, Gregory.
Are you right, my mistake. I got the correct App Key and it works!
Thank you,
Gustavo
