RespondPageWithJSRedirect() - where is this defined?
Hi, I am trying to set-up a Dropbox connection in .NET (Xamarin to be precise). I am following http://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/html/T_Dropbox_Api_DropboxOAuth2Helper.htm. When I start ty...
Apologies for the confusion! The SDK doesn't offer an implementation of RespondPageWithJSRedirect. That's intended to be whatever page you wish to show to the user at that point in the process. (E.g., it can optionally contain a message for the user, and whatever branding/styling you want for your app.)
Here's where this is done in the example, and here's the HTML page, including the minimum JavaScript necessary, used for that example.
Hi Greg,
> Are you getting that error when trying to run the "SimpleTest" sample app?
I was coding my own test app from scratch, but following those 2 examples, so the answer is yes, kinda. Your remark has made me think I'll just try running the whole SimpleTest as is, and see if that works for me as is... but as I've found previously (like missing usings), there's a bunch of details that have been left out. See below for all the error messages I got.
> Is there any other output in the log?
Lots of messages, as usual, but only 2 errors. The 2nd was with the httplistener, and was further down, so may have been a flow-on from the first error. trying to fix the 1st error 1st, and see if that also fixes the 2nd error.
> To clarify, are you also trying to run the "SimpleTest" on Android? That sample wasn't written for Android, nor does the .NET SDK itself officially support Android.
As mentioned, I'm using Xamarin, which supports UWP, iOS and Android (plus some other platforms too). Coding is done in C#/.NET, and Xamarin takes care of the platform stuff in the background. They do have a Xamarin.Dropbox.Api - apparently they had to do a few hacks to make the Dropbox.Api work with Xamarin (maybe related to the fact that .NET doesn't officially support Android?) - and that is the one I'm using. It's available in nuget.

Thanks.

Dropbox Community ModeratorI see, thanks. I do recommend starting from the unmodified SimpleTest on a supported platform as a reference, as that should work out of the box with no modifications (beyond plugging in your own app key). That's what I tested, and it worked for me.
Anyway, unfortunately the SDK isn't officially supported in Xamarin, so we can't offer support for that platform. I'll send this along as a feature request for official support for that though. We can't officially support that third party library either of course, as that's maintained by a third party.
Dropbox won't let me register another app called SimpleTest so that I can get my own apikey for it - can you supply the apikey for it? Or if I use one I have already, will that work if the names don't match? I've tried to work around this restriction, with no success so far. i.e. tried to clone SimpleTest, calling it something different in the process, however when I click "fork", it forks the whole .net library, not just SimpleTest itself. Not sure how to get around this restriction on unique app names (or that it won't let me fork just that directory).

The reason you cannot register a duplicate Dropbox App with the same name is because Dropbox requires App names be unique. I do not believe you need to create a new Dropbox app for your use case. It is okay if the name of your app registered with Dropbox and the name of the .NET project do not match.
