I just download the dropbox API and integrate into my android code, but it shows error that the path is not match and I don't know where to fix it.

    Based on that stack trace, this issue is occurring when you're calling "listFolder", because you're not supplying a valid "path" value. If you need help with that, please share the relevant code, including the "path" value you're supplying.
