    The Android Core SDK v1.6.3 you're using uses API v1, which is deprecated, so you should migrate to API v2. To use API v2 in Android, you should use the API v2 Java SDK.

     

    (The OAuth version is not the same as the API version. API v1 supports both OAuth 1 and OAuth 2. API v2 supports OAuth 2 only.)

Greg, I feel DropBox team should delete the page https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/sdks/android

 

Since it is very misleading. This SDK is going to be deprecated after a month and have been replaced with newer SDK. But the does not even mention that.

 

Greg, please help developers.

sthigale There should be a warning banner at the top of that page indicating that API v1 is deprecated with a link to more information. That is showing up properly for me. Is it not showing for you?
