Why does the official Dropbox Android SDK not contain an intent?

9 years agoThe Dropbox Android SDK (like the rest of the SDKs for other platforms) is built on the Dropbox API HTTP endpoints, meaning that it enables apps to communicate directly with the Dropbox servers to integrate with Dropbox.
The official Dropbox Android app itself does offer some intents, unrelated the above API.
Using intents means you don't need to register for an app key, but it also requires that the official Dropbox Android app be installed. The Dropbox API also offers a wider variety of functionality than the official app's intents. You can use whichever you want though.
