Missing scope from request
Hi, I'm looking for some help setting up an Android app with the api. I am looking to list all files in a dropbox folder, select one to download and then read it into my app to process the data....
You can actually do either.
If you want it to default to whatever is set for the app on the App Console at that point in time, you should pass in null.
If you want to be specifically defined by the code, even if additional scopes are added to the App Console, you should pass the specific desired scope list. (Note that you can't request scopes that aren't enabled for the app though.)

Thanks Greg,
I changed it to null and after initially failing because the example app then tried to open the file but its format won't allow it. I commented out the link to view the file and its now appears to be working. Thanks for your help.
new DownloadFileTask(FilesActivity.this, DropboxClientFactory.getClient(), new DownloadFileTask.Callback() {
@Override
public void onDownloadComplete(File result) {
dialog.dismiss();
//if (result != null) {
// viewFileInExternalApp(result);
//}
