Hi,

I am trying to migrate from v1 to v2. No luck sofar. And I do not get the example code to work.

I tried the android axample but it fails on gradle build. So no way tot test pieces of code.

Trying the turorial (in androidstudio):

I run into errors as well. Here:

FullAccount account = client.users().getCurrentAccount();

I am desperate! Does anyone have a working Simple example to connect to dropbox and upload a file with android studio?

thanks a lot!!
