Java API v2 - DeleteError
For clarification, I am using the Java API v2 for DropBox for an AndroidStudio project. I am trying to use the deleteV2(String path) method and keep running into a DeleteErrorException. Here...
- This 'not_found' error indicates that there is nothing at the specified path (your 'path' variable in this case) in the connected account:
https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v3.0.x/com/dropbox/core/v2/files/LookupError.html#NOT_FOUND
You should fix your path value to specify the correct path string for the file you want to delete. You can get this from Metadata.getPathLower for the Metadata object for the file, for instance:
https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v3.0.x/com/dropbox/core/v2/files/Metadata.html#getPathLower--
You can get file metadata from getMetadata or listFolder, for example:
https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v3.0.x/com/dropbox/core/v2/files/DbxUserFilesRequests.html#getMetadata-java.lang.String-

Thanks. I managed to fix the issue with some trial and error with the path variable, but it's nice to know where to check for explicit path of each item.
