Dropbox API V2 Silent Upload Death [Java] [Android]

I'm integrating the dropbox API in a college project in which I'm required to upload text files and download them (Which I have done with success) and I'm also required to upload and download photos. While trying to upload photos, I use the same exact logic for the text files and when I reach the line:

 

mDbxClient.files().uploadBuilder(remoteFolderPath + "/" + remoteFileName).withMode(WriteMode.OVERWRITE).uploadAndFinish(inputStream);

The debugger just dies, no exception is thrown, the application keeps on running normally but the photo is never uploaded.

Can you please  help me solve this issue?

  • Nevermind, the lack of feedback was making me assume that the call never returned, it returned "shortly" after and the image got uploaded successfuly.

      I'm glad to hear you sorted this out already.

      By the way, the uploadAndFinish method returns a `FileMetadata` when it successfully runs, so you can programmatically check that return value for details on the uploaded file.
