In the previous api login could be performed to the device dropbox account by using the api key and the api secret, is there any way to do this with V2? What a I need is to be able to connect to dife...

Dropbox Community ModeratorCan you share the steps and code to reproduce the issue? Thanks in advance!
In build.grade file I add this:
dependencies {
compile files('libs/dropbox-core-sdk-3.0.3.jar')
}
and add the jar with that name under the libs folder, then I create a new class just as the example with this code:
package com.rasviet.mobility.sincro;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import com.dropbox.core.android.Auth;
/**
* Created by Jritxal on 01/08/2017.
*/
public class DropboxActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
}
and it says it cannont resolve v7 that apears in red and so does AppCompatActivity ofc.
- Greg-DBIt sounds like you're having trouble importing the Android support library, as opposed to Dropbox itself. I can't offer much help with that, but there's a post about it here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30803405/cannot-resolve-symbol-appcompatactivity-support-v7-libraries-arent-recognized
By the way, it looks like you're loading the Dropbox library from the jar file, but since you're using gradle anyway, we recommend just using the setup as documented here:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java#setup Hello, finally I made it work!!
My prob now is that I suppose I need the
DbxClientV2 client;
variable to keep making calls to the api, I have declared it as public static on my main class (SyncActivity) and do this on the DropboxConnection class:
protected void loadData() {
new GetCurrentAccountTask(DropboxClientFactory.getClient(), new GetCurrentAccountTask.Callback() {
@Override
public void onComplete(FullAccount result) {
SyncActivity.client = DropboxClientFactory.getClient();
finish();
}
@Override
public void onError(Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Failed to get account details.",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}).execute();
}but IÂŽm trying to use it on the onResume method of SyncActivity class to just get email addres of the user like this:
try {
if (client != null) {
FullAccount account = client.users().getCurrentAccount();
Toast.makeText(SyncActivity.this, "cliente: " + account.getEmail()+ " acc: "+account.toString(),
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Toast.makeText(SyncActivity.this, "Excepcion: "+e.getMessage(),
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}and Im getting an exception with message: "null"
- Greg-DBCan you share the full exception/stack trace?
It works properly and connects to the client dropbox account, but it never disconnects, are there any examples on how to disconnect to use another account? The only way you can do that now is reinstalling the app
- Greg-DBThere are a few things you can do depending on exactly what kind of "disconnect" functionality you're looking for. There's a discussion here that covers several different options:
