Dropbox android sdk 1.6.3 supports v2 or not.?
I have developed android app with Dropbox android sdk 1.6.3 and it uses startoauth2 for authorisation purpose. Now I am bit confused if I am already working with Dropbox Api v2 or changes are required in app to make it compatible with v2?
The Android Core SDK v1.6.3 you're using uses API v1, which is deprecated, so you should migrate to API v2. To use API v2 in Android, you should use the API v2 Java SDK.
(The OAuth version is not the same as the API version. API v1 supports both OAuth 1 and OAuth 2. API v2 supports OAuth 2 only.)

My confusion is that if I have used oauth2(v2 supports oauth2) for creating and storing session, then do I still need to update my sdk?
- Greg-DBYes, while existing OAuth 2 access tokens can be used with API v2, the Android Core SDK only makes API v1 calls, so you need to update to the API v2 Java SDK.
