get list of folders
Hi. I want to get a list of folders along with path inside my dropbox so that i can upload my files to defined path through my own made android application. Is there any way to get folders list witho...
Yes, using the Dropbox Java SDK, you can get the list of files/folders under any particular path using the listFolder/listFolderContinue methods. The result will contain a list of Metadata objects, from which you can get the paths for the referenced items. There's an example of calling listFolder here. As shown there, to list the root folder itself, you would supply a path value of the empty string "".

and what about the nested folders? Do we get them also?
- Greg-DB
You can use listFolderBuilder to get a ListFolderBuilder you can use and call withRecursive(true) to do a recursive listing if you wish. That would include nested items.
Or, to just list the contents of particular nested folder when needed, you can use listFolder/listFolderContinue again with the path of the folder you want to list.
any coded example for this? Would be really glad
- Greg-DB
I don't believe we have a full example of that, but it would look like this:
client.files().listFolderBuilder(path).withRecursive(true).start();
