create and return shared link to file Android example

[Dan R.23]

I have an android app that uses the dropbox api to upload a file to drop box. This functionality is working as expected.  Now I want to create a shared link to the file I just uploaded.  I am confused and unable to get this working.  Is there an example of how to do this for android that you can point me to?  I'm missing something.

Thanks.

What library, are you using, if any? For example, if you're using the Dropbox API v1 Android library, you can use the shares method to get a shared link to a file or folder:

I don't have a good sample of using that handy, but usage should just look like:

dropboxLink = client.shares("/path/to/file")
dropboxLink.url // the share link URL
