The 'missing_scope' error indicates that while the app is permitted to use that scope, the particular access token you're using to make the API call does not have that scope granted. Be aware that just adding a scope to your app via the App Console does not retroactively grant that scope to existing access tokens.

That being the case, to make any API calls that require that scope, you'll need to get a new access token with that scope.

Hi Greg,

Once I have checked all the scopes I need, everything I have to do is GENERATE an access token as you see in the image:

After that, have I to write that access token in any site of the android example code? If I have to, where? When it is generated, will everything be there or do I have to do something to write it somewhere in the code?

Thanks!

Normally, you should implement the OAuth app authorization flow in your app, as shown in this example, in order to allow the end-user to connect their own Dropbox account so the app can receive the access token for that user's account programmatically once they approve it.

If you are only connecting your own account in particular though, you technically don't need to implement the app authorization flow. You can just hard-code your own access token like in this example. (Though, if you're using short-lived access tokens and refresh tokens for offline/background access, you'd want to use this constructor instead.) Note that access tokens allow access to your account though, so you shouldn't distribute them to other people.
