Delete a file using Java api v2
How do I delete a file using the java api v2. I found DeleteArg, but it doesn't seem to do any thing??? Thanks.
Hi Dan, you can use the delete method in DbxUserFilesRequests. For example:
Metadata metadata = client.files().delete(path);
Hope this helps!
Hy!
When I try to run my code it displays the following error:
"Exception in thread "Thread-2" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.dropbox.core.DbxHost.getApi()Ljava/lang/String; at com.dropbox.core.v2.files.DbxUserFilesRequests.delete(DbxUserFilesRequests.java:218) at com.dropbox.core.v2.files.DbxUserFilesRequests.delete(DbxUserFilesRequests.java:248)"
My code:
public Metadata delete(String path) throws DeleteErrorException, DbxException{
Metadata metadata = null;
DbxRequestConfig config = new DbxRequestConfig(
"JavaTutorial/1.0", Locale.getDefault().toString());
try{
//DbxHost DEFAULT = new DbxHost("api.dropboxapi.com","content.dropboxapi.com","www.dropbox.com","notify.dropboxapi.com");
DbxClientV2 cli = new DbxClientV2(config, "<REDACTED>", DbxHost.Default);
metadata = cli.files().delete(path);
cli.files().delete(path);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "apagado");
}catch(DbxException | HeadlessException erro){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, erro);
}
return metadata;
}

Dropbox Community ModeratorMarcoLI I can't seem to reproduce this error. What version of the SDK do you have installed?
In any case, a few things I noticed:
- You don't need to redefine the Dropbox hosts. (Though, you have it commented it out anyway.)
- You don't need to pass in the Dropbox hosts manually. You should just use the DbxClientV2 constructor that doesn't take a DbxHost.
- If you do pass it in explicitly, it should be DbxHost.DEFAULT, not DbxHost.Default.
- I redacted it from your post, but you should revoke that access token since you posted it publicly.
