Listing a folder (such as root) can take an arbitrary number of calls, so make sure you're aggregating the results from all of the calls. 

 

It's not entirely clear where/when are you actually collecting these result sets. It seems like some of the relevant code may be missing here, but looking at the code you shared, it looks like you may only be collecting the last page, since you're doing folderNameArray.clear() each time.

The root direcotry complete folders and files are from my Dropbox root folder. Set A and B are getting from the code Log.i("dbFolderName", "dbFolderName: $dbFolderName") when iterating in
for (i in files.indices) loop.

 

I tested again by removing the line folderNameArray.clear(). It gave the same results of A and B as before.

 

Note: I added the line folderNameArray.clear() is to have a clean set before iterating the result.entries with the for(i in files.indices) loop.

    Thanks for the information. It's unclear from this what the issue is then. Could you open an API ticket so we can take a closer look? Please include the full responses that you're getting, without any processing. That is, show what you're getting back in all of the ListFolderResult objects from all of the calls to listFolder and listFolderContinue without any extra handling so we can see the results and cursors. Thanks!
