Dropbox Community ModeratorThat's the correct way to download a file. I just tried that line of code myself and it is working as expected for me.
It sounds like there's something else affecting this in your project, but I can't say off hand what that might be. We'll be happy to look into it further, but we'd need to be able to reproduce it here. Can you share a small sample project that reproduces the issue?
Hi Greg,
Sorry, it was my mistake... I didn't use Gson correctly, so when using it, I got inside the list the valuses ""/file1.txt"", ""/file2.txt"" etc. when I printed the values, I got "/file1.txt", "/file2.txt" instead of /file1.txt, /file2.txt. I thought that the extra "" are from the java println and that I'm getting the correct value...
Now everything is working for me and the files are downloading to my app.
I have no idea why the line with the hard coded file name didn't work before,
DbxDownloader<FileMetadata> downloader = client.files().download("/file.txt");
But it is working now, so all is good.
Thank you so much for helping me with everything! :)
