Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
My Dropbox chooser no longer works in my android app and nothing has changed. I was retesting it recently and it returns the error saying "Sorry and error occurred. Please try again later."
below I have pasted relevant code that has been working for around a year and also a printout from the error log having to do with GetLinkAsyncTask.
Any Idea why this stopped working?
private static final String APP_KEY = "21fxa7qsjb9xpt6"; //app key for dropbox private static final int DBX_CHOOSER_REQUEST = 256; // arbitrarily choosing 256 private DbxChooser mChooser; public void btnDropbox_Clicked(View v) { vibratePhone(50); DbxChooser.ResultType resultType; resultType = DbxChooser.ResultType.PREVIEW_LINK; DebugLog.debugLog("launching Dropbox Chooser ", false); GlobalStuff.outToChooser = true; mChooser.forResultType(resultType).launch(this, DBX_CHOOSER_REQUEST); } public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { if (requestCode == DBX_CHOOSER_REQUEST ) { DebugLog.debugLog("It was for dropbox", false); GlobalStuff.outToChooser = false; if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) { DbxChooser.Result result = new DbxChooser.Result(data); DebugLog.debugLog("Link to selected file: " + result.getLink(), false); @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") android.text.ClipboardManager clipboard = (android.text.ClipboardManager) GlobalStuff.GCT.getSystemService(GlobalStuff.GCT.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE); Uri uri = result.getLink(); String str = uri.toString(); clipboard.setText(str); } else { //failed or was cancelled by user } } //for some poorly documented reason we need to call mHelper.handleActivityResult //to get our mPurchaseFinishedListener to execute so that we can consume purchases //and provision product . . . if (requestCode == RC_REQUEST) { DebugLog.debugLog("It was for in-app billing", false); if (mHelper == null) { DebugLog.debugLog("mHellper was null ", false); return; } if (mHelper.handleActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)) { DebugLog.debugLog("Got positive back from handleActivityResult call", false); } } }
log error is as follows:
