Dropbox API download errors

Dropbox API download errors

trying to get the Dropbox API for android studio. i want to download the github repo and run the examples. i ran the following code like the README said:

$git clone https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java.git

$cd dropbox-sdk-java

$ ./update-submodules

When I then try to run 

$ ./gradlew build

I get a fail with this erro: 

* Where: Script '/Users/G/Desktop/dropbox-sdk-java/stone.gradle' line: 78

* What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':generateStone'.

> Process 'command 'python'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

And I don't know how to fix this.

Do you need to build from source for some reason, or would the pre-built package be fine? If you don't need to build from source, it would be easier to just use the pre-built package than to debug why the build is failing for you.

 

For instance, you can replace this 'compile' line in examples/build.gradle with the 'implementation' line from the setup instructions. That would tell gradle to just download the currently latest version of the Dropbox Java SDK to use.
