If you're using the Dropbox API v2 Java SDK on Android, you can find a sample for downloading a file here:

And for uploading a file here:

    Hi,

    I am trying to migrate from v1 to v2. No luck sofar. And I do not get the example code to work. 

    I tried the android axample but it fails on gradle build. So no way tot test pieces of code.

     

    Trying the turorial (in androidstudio):

    https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java#dropbox-for-java-tutorial

    I run into errors as well. Here:

    FullAccount account = client.users().getCurrentAccount();

     

    I am desperate! Does anyone have a working Simple example to connect to dropbox and upload a file with android studio?

     

    thanks a lot!!
