10 years agoHi Billy, a Metadata object like in your sample can be for either a file, folder, or deleted object, so you need cast it to the respective type, FileMetadata, FolderMetadata, DeletedMetadata, to access the properties specific to each.
For example, you can do something like this:
System.out.println(metadata.getPathLower());
if (metadata instanceof FileMetadata) {
System.out.println(((FileMetadata) metadata).getServerModified());
System.out.println(((FileMetadata) metadata).getClientModified());
System.out.println(((FileMetadata) metadata).getRev());
}
