Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
I have an application that i have not needed to update since moving to API v2 in 2017. Due to google enforcing a minimum targetSDK i have made modifications and the project now meets the target and is backward compatible to API 8 in eclipse.
I am trying now to migrate the eclipse project over to ADS. I have to admit that I have no prior experience until the last few days of ADS and gradle, so please be gentle!
when i build my app i am getting the following error
cannot access OkHttpClient class file for com.squareup.okhttp.OkHttpClient not found
C:\test\testproject\src\main\java\com\dropbox\core\examples\android\PicassoClient.java:19: error: cannot access OkHttpClient
.downloader(new OkHttpDownloader(context))
i have the .jar file for okhttp in libs folder (same files that build ok with eclipse).
i have tried adding dependency so gradle downloads but it fails to find it.
implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:3.8.1'
and
implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:3.0.1'
Any help would be appreciated.
my build.gradle
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 28
buildToolsVersion "29.0.3"
useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.test.testproject"
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 28
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
}
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles 'proguard.cfg'
}
}
}
dependencies {
implementation files('libs/okio-1.13.0.jar')
implementation files('libs/okhttp-3.8.1.jar')
//implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:3.8.1'
implementation files('libs/picasso-2.5.2.jar')
implementation files('libs/dropbox-android-sdk.jar')
implementation files('libs/dropbox-core-sdk-3.0.3.jar')
implementation files('libs/httpmime-4.0.3.jar')
implementation files('libs/jackson-core-2.7.4.jar')
implementation files('libs/json_simple-1.1.jar')
implementation fileTree(dir: 'C:\\android\\support\\v7\\appcompat\\libs', include: ['*.aar', '*.jar'], exclude: [])
}
The Android example app only supports SDK 19 and up. The Dropbox library itself doesn't have a documented minimum supported Android SDK level, but I would expect it to work on any SDK level where its dependencies can work.
