Unable to migrate to API v2

Hi again, I downloaded the new DropBox-SDK from here: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java and I extracted it into an empty folder. I also tried several examples there, for example...

    That's correct, the "DBRoulette" example and the dropbox-android-sdk-1.6.3 SDK are for API v1, and should no longer be used.

     

    Anyway, these are commands that should be run in a terminal if you want to build the SDK from source. If you don't need to edit the source (you generally shouldn't), I recommend just changing the gradle line as described in my last post instead.

Thanks very much!

 

Sorry somehow I missed that part, now it's working.

 

Last question, the instructions ask to run this file:

 

..\DropboxApiV2\dropbox-sdk-java-master\gradlew.bat

 

What does it do? I didn't see any change in the folder after running this file, it just opened a black cmd window for a very short time and then it was closed. Why do I have to run it?

 

Thanks.

That is a script for building/installing the SDK locally. It's not necessary if you switch to using a packaged version as above.
