Hi, i have fixed it, i tried it with Metadata instead of FileMetadata and that was the problem. This worked without any errors.
FileMetadata filemetadata = (FileMetadata)client.files().getMetadata(metadata.getPathLower()); FileSharingInfo fileSharingInfo = filemetadata.getSharingInfo(); fileSharingInfo.getModifiedBy();

Hi, I m able to get the shared folders and files with listFolderBuilder and listFolderContinue. This is my code
DbxRequestConfig config = new DbxRequestConfig("dropbox/java-tutorial", "en_US"); DbxClientV2 client = new DbxClientV2(config, ACCESS_TOKEN);
ListFolderResultresult=client.files().listFolderBuilder("").withIncludeDeleted(true).withRecursive(true).start(); while (true) { for (Metadata metadata : result.getEntries()) { System.out.println(metadata.getPathLower()+"\t"+metadata.getName()); } if (!result.getHasMore()) { break; } result = client.files().listFolderContinue(result.getCursor()); }
this returns a json data from where i can retrieve id, name, path etc.
{ "entries": [ { ".tag":"file", "name":"Sample.java", "id":"id:nDRxdFgbLhAAAAAAAAAAJA", "client_modified":"2018-06-21T11:15:59Z", "server_modified":"2018-06-21T11:16:00Z", "rev":"2c9463620", "size":1837, "path_lower":"/abc/sample.java", "path_display":"/abc/Sample.java", "parent_shared_folder_id":"3376821792", "sharing_info":{"read_only":false, "parent_shared_folder_id":"3376821792", "modified_by":"dbid:AADz0pcde3etsRJmumakFzDDH-aJzp2vYRo" } } ], "cursor":"AAHDAg8um0mKlykS0oaq2UAczjkJCm3hPYZa_8HyYwaWAZLZc_5cMJtPPLuHvltxUrdepeLalz5LxncSUPfVq915nU4fEqCIFqncL_Hxvw8cnOVL0dfQ_bTvP5f9Qhbk-Hp7qhIB8pAmZsxli60ZTFwmqLET8zUbGKbSIdSCrJ1wgfyns6NquC-TzeT4wELWDD0", "has_more":false }
I'm stuck how to get the sharing_info, i tried using
FileSharingInfo data = metadata.getSharingInfo(); data.getModifiedBy();
But it doesn't work. What am i missing here ?
