How to switch from one account to another java SDK V2 (Android)?
Hello,
Is there a way to switch from one account to another without revoking the accessToken. Since I migrated to V2 I can not manage several accounts with my app.
I always come back to the same account after:
//previously DbxClientV2 created
dropBoxService = null;
//previously String accessToken created
dropboxAccessToken = null;
//start to create a new one
Auth.startOAuth2Authentication(getActivity(), APP_KEY);
//finaly in on resume method:
dropboxAccessToken = Auth.getOAuth2Token();
DropboxClientFactory.init(dropboxAccessToken);
dropBoxService = DropboxClientFactory.getClient();
new GetCurrentAccountTask(dropBoxService, new GetCurrentAccountTask.Callback() {
@Override
public void onComplete(final FullAccount result) {
Log.i("DROPBOX",String.valueOf(result.getEmail()));
//i obtain the same previously created email and not a new one! Why?
} SolidExplorer for example switches from one account to another without losing the accessToken. I can not find the trick.
Thank you.
Ok, Greg K thank you.
I had this issue because i had used a given class of Android sample.
DropboxClientFactory.init(dropboxAccessToken); dropBoxService = DropboxClientFactory.getClient();
DropBoxClientFactory.init() method check if the client is null before to initiate a new one.Solved for me.

The access token you use identifies which account you connect to. You can store and re-use multiple different access tokens to support using multiple different accounts.
There's some more information here:
