If you're using the Dropbox API v2 Java SDK on Android, you can find a sample for downloading a file here:

And for uploading a file here:

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):

https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java#dropbox-for-java-tutorial

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!!
