Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hello,
So first I removed from my android app all V1 API code.
I have an eclipse project. I added all .jar files for V2 API 3.0.3 and dependencies.
I looked at the example (which has no comments).
So for now i have just placed all authentication into my OnResume. But it crashes when executing DropboxClientFactory.init(accessToken);
I start the App, open the settings and enable dropbox, this then passes message MESSAGE_AUTHENTICATE_DROPBOX which implements Auth.startOAuth2Authentication(BluetoothChat.this, APP_KEY) and i get the AuthActivity and I authorise, then onResume gets the access token and then it closes.
if i step through with the debugger then when DropboxClientFactory.init(accessToken) is called the debugger jumps to super.onResume() and then the app closes.
Here is the onResume:-
@Override public synchronized void onResume() { super.onResume(); if(D) Log.e(TAG, "+ ON RESUME +"); boolean dropBoxState=Prefs_DropBox; //Save Dropbox Prefs State before reload prefs SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this); String accessToken = prefs.getString("access-token", null); if (accessToken == null) { accessToken = Auth.getOAuth2Token(); if (accessToken != null) { prefs.edit().putString("access-token", accessToken).apply(); prefs.edit().putBoolean("DropboxIntegration", true).commit(); DropboxClientFactory.init(accessToken); PicassoClient.init(getApplicationContext(),com.dropbox.core.examples.android.DropboxClientFactory.getClient()); } } else { DropboxClientFactory.init(accessToken); PicassoClient.init(getApplicationContext(), com.dropbox.core.examples.android.DropboxClientFactory.getClient()); } if(D) Log.e(TAG, "LoadPrefs"); LoadPrefs(); if (Prefs_DropBox) { if (!dropBoxState) //Dropbox has just been enabled { mHandler.obtainMessage(MESSAGE_AUTHENTICATE_DROPBOX).sendToTarget(); //Disable again until Authentication completes! prefs.edit().putBoolean("DropboxIntegration", false).commit(); } }
Greg,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I think the crash i had was an ADB or Driver issue. the authentication worked ok when i ran without the debugger.
I had not used my LG G6 to debug before. I used the debugger with an old Motorolla E and it authenticated ok. Maybe I need to update the android SDK.
I now have authentication and AsyncTask that uploads all files matching a pattern for a given folder so I am now close to deprecating API V1 from my application.
